My new favorite shoebox compressor! The Orcair Thunder! (Video inside)

well I’m new to airguns so glad I can order quality filling tanks off Amazon. Would yall recommend I go to a specialty air gun shop or is Amazon just easier in general?

Got 3 liter and 9 liter along with a compressor. Tuxing brand
Ive recently been getting off Aliexpress for the cheapest price
and have not had a problem. Bought a compressor also Tuxing
txedm042 for $360. They do charge sales tax but that’s the only
extra. It’s just another option which is now becoming more mainstream.

I own a Shoebox F10. I, like probably like 80% of the membership recognize, knowing the current production of the "Shoebox" isn't. Now when I hear someone talking about a newer, small, cheaper, priced compressor I've come to take it as the common reference as being a shoe box compressor, not the "ShoeBox" brand. I take no offense. I know the difference. I hear the complaints when someone cries about someone using the term shoe box. Take it with a grain of salt and get back to shooting.

Neither, if you are going to fill them yourself then you can buy CE certified tanks on AliExpress or Alibaba. Significant discount from Amazon. You can buy from Acecare on Aliexpress and for a few bucks more will ship from their US Warehouse for quicker delivery.

If you are going to have someone like a Dive Shop fill your tanks you need DOT certified tanks at about double the cost of CE certified. CE is the European standard and DOT is the North American standard.
