Hey guys,

I have an Aquatek Mini paintball co2 regulator, and im looking at getting a larger co2 tank, i found a 20lb tank on craigslist that i might get. i was wondering if there is an adapter to put my paintball regulator onto a standard co2 tank. i know people go regular tank regulator to a paintball tank all the time with an adapter, im just not sure if i can go the other way.


thanks guys!

I'm not sure if such an adapter exists, but if it does, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

i found this, looks like it replaces the the valve in the Co2 tank with a paintball thread... this might work. only thing is i dont know of a place that has the ability to refill a paintball tank that will refill a 20lb tank.... i think id have to beg and plead with places like big 5 to do it...

20lb tanks are hard to get refilled IMO. 10lb and below I have numerous places around my house and I used to have a welding supply store that would refill my 20lb for me but they stopped doing it for some reason. Finding places that produce their own CO2 is hard to find. I turned in my bottle and now "rent" a 20lb bottle for $20 a refill.

That adapter does not look like it will work to me. Your problem is why pb regulators are a waste of money IMO.

The adapter i found replaces the stock valve in the Co2 tank. what makes you think it wont work? unscrew the stock one, screw this one in, profit...

Same size, same thread, same type of seal?

I assume so. Click on the link above the picture

it won't work, don't try.

The "adapter" you posted is just a replacement for the output on a standard paintball tank. It is not a CGA-320-cylinder to paintball-style-regulator adapter. If you've ever seen a standard CO2 tank you know the size isn't remotely similar. You need a regulator with a standard inlet fitting.

Here's your "adapter" in place.

I m not a hundred % sure... but I think you are out of luck.....
Be careful with what you doing... co2 burn is not nice...
I never heard of such adapter..... and that wouldn't be a standard tank... who is going to fill it for you? Better get a normal regulator

+1 In the end you will be happier with a normal reg. I tried to find adapters as well but failed.
