Ok, I am just buying my first marker and have ordered an Etek Ego however I am unsure of what hopper to buy and whether a 3000psi tank would be OK.

Can somebody please recommend me a hopper that is capable of keeping up with the gun and where I could get it from and the same for a 3000psi tank. Preferably below £80 for the two.

Thanks,

mackem

spend the extra couple of quid and buy the 4500psi bottle. it will save you buying one in the future.

as for a loader, an egg will be plenty for the time being, if you can get your hands on a cheap halo or vlocity jnr you will be golden. alright it may cost you a few quid extra now, but you will be glad in a few months time when you don't have to buy it all over again.

im using a 5000 psi 0.7 fiber wrap bottle and a pulse'd halo loader. out of your budget i know but i get on with them both :D nice and close to my marker with the little bottle ( not the tallest guy ) and the pulse'd halo rocks! although my empire b was top before i upgraded. see whats out there mate, you could pick up a bargain. worth spending more now than loosing value on a lesser setup that you may wish to upgrade in a couple of months.
