What Kind Of Blast Pots Are You Using?


I currently have an Accustrip 12sx, a 6 cu.ft. Empire pot, and a 6cu.ft. Pangborn pot. I'm looking at maybe getting another 6cu.ft. pot but not sure if the new ones are worth it? Or should I just get an old one and update the deadman and media valve? Also, if possible, I would like to have more control over blast pressure(maybe add some gauges and more precise controls then just a ball valve)Any suggestions?

Re: What Kind Of Blast Pots Are You Using?


i am using a surface tek and have a good hour or so of blasting on 2.5 cf how long do you get on your 6cf? i keep thinking that the pot i am using is getting good consumption rate and want to get a bigger pot but it seems that is not the case with other companies...
