[AirGunBeginner45]

Hello everyone! Came across this website AliExpress and they had a lot of pcp toys from tanks , compressors, connectors , Basically everything and the prices aren’t bad so my question is is this website trustable ?? Has anyone ever bought anything from here and is it legit! Thanks ! This tank is not bad at all it says it’s brand new??? Let me know what y’all think! Should I or should I not!

I would have it hydro tested before filling with air. And yes I have ordered from AliExpress my yong heng compressor and 4500psi hand pump. Also Discovery scope.

 

[AirGunBeginner45]

If it’s brand new I would have to get it hydro tested anyway right?

I have bought “2” great whites from joe brand new doesn’t require hydro test, and yes aliexpress is legit sometimes a little slow but legit

 

[AirGunBeginner45]

2’ great whites? From joe ? What’s that ?

I ordered about 100 plus items from aliexpress. And I recieved all my 100 plus orders. Some take 2 weeks. Some take over a month. But I always get it. So yeah it's real. Just have to be patient. Dont expect placing an order and it arriving in 2 to 3 days. 



Are you talking about their acecare tanks? They are brand new. But they are CE certified. That's standard for what Europe use. In the US, we use dot. So you will need a compressor to fill it. I got my acecare 6.8l tank brand new for $250. Vs Joe's great white for like more than double that price. If you own your own compressor. Get the acecare tank. Save you a few hundred bucks. I've been using mine for 4 years no problem.

Gearbest and Alibaba are also the same thing, takes some time to delivering and recieving , with cheap prices from China.

The Great Whites are a brand of CF tank that Joe B sells. AliExpress is a trustworthy company and you don’t need to hydro test their air tanks. Unless you plan on filling it yourself I would recommend a DOT approved tank that a dive shop will fill. Alibaba is another Chinese company and their prices are even better. Both company’s sell Acecare CF tanks that have been discussed in length on this forum before. Also notice that the JSAR Raptor uses 350 and 500cc Acecare carbon fiber bottles (air tanks). I use them myself and have no problem filling to 4500 psi.

AliExpress and Alibaba DO sell DOT approved Acecare CF tanks but they are more expensive.

Forget the tank and get this ? I only shoot on the weekends ? Or a hand pump??

I got the Yong Heng it's been 3 years now I only use it to fill my PCP only thing I've done is just the regular oil change. 

 

[AirGunBeginner45]

Fill straight to the gun ??

Straight to the gun or to a buddy bottle, or even a large tank. My tank is 6.8 Liter and I fill it intermittently. You don't want to try to fill a larger bottle all at once. 500 to 750 psi at a time is what I use. Never run the compressor longer than 15 minutes at a stretch...stop and let it cool down for a half hour or so.

You can get DOT approved tanks from Aliexpress, but they cost a bit more. DOT certified means a scuba shop can fill them. The others are certified by different agencies from different countries. I believe mine is Canada approved. Too far to drive, so I got the Yong Heng.

I used Aliexpress for a few years now. No issues. But often you can find the same item for similar price on Ebay with more protection in place. 



Do not confuse it with Alibaba.com which seems to be geared towards wholesale.

I have ordered several things from Aliexpress and found them to be less reliable with their descriptions than eBay and Amazon. So I have more stuff from them in my junkbox than anywhere else. Still I bought my first Hong Heng there and that transaction went flawlessly. I only buy tanks that are made in the USA.

Aliexpress is good, but you have to consider that in usually cheap stuff, you have no warranty (even when you have, since sending it back to China usually is not an option)

I bought there several stuff for pcp and no problems at all.

 

[AirGunBeginner45]

Thanks guys ! I think I’m going with the ninja pcp fill station! For the amount of shooting I do it’s perfect! Didn’t know they made one for pcp rifles !

I ordered spinner targets from Ali Express. I purchased a pack of 6 spinners in different sizes. Shipping was slow and there was not much correspondence to confirm the purchase. Product did arrive about 3 weeks later (shipped from China I think). Spinners are very nice for what I will use them for. I may end up going with a lag bolt instead of the supplied deck screws.

Been using Ali for quite a while, no problem, and shipping for a compressor was less than a week. Now trying Wish, no gun stuff yet and waiting for first order.
