Empire Mega Lite Air Tank – HPA 68ci / 4500psi

Lightweight. Reliable. Field-Proven Power.

The Empire Mega Lite 68ci / 4500psi HPA Air Tank is one of the most trusted, battle-tested paintball air systems available today. Built for consistency, efficiency, and durability, this tank is designed to deliver high-pressure performance game after game, with minimal weight and maximum reliability. Whether you play speedball, woodsball, or scenario events, the Mega Lite tank gives you the air capacity and balance you need to stay competitive on the field.

Why the Empire Mega Lite Stands Out

When it comes to air systems, performance and safety are everything. Empire’s Mega Lite series combines aerospace-grade materials with proven regulator technology to ensure every shot counts. The 68ci / 4500psi configuration strikes the perfect balance between capacity and weight, offering enough air for long matches without slowing you down.

It’s the go-to setup for thousands of competitive players and weekend warriors who demand consistency, efficiency, and easy maintenance.

Key highlights at a glance:

• 68 cubic inch (ci) carbon fiber tank with 4500psi working pressure

• Lightweight carbon fiber wrap with durable aluminum core

• Empire’s proven regulator technology with 800psi output

• Reliable shot-to-shot consistency for superior marker performance

• DOT & TC certified for safety and worldwide use

• 5-year hydro test cycle for long-term dependability

• Sleek matte finish with Empire branding

Technical Specifications

Consistent Power and Precision

The Empire Mega Lite HPA tank is designed to deliver smooth, consistent air pressure to your paintball marker. The 800 PSI output ensures compatibility with nearly all modern paintball markers—mechanical or electronic. That consistency translates into tighter shot groupings, more predictable trajectories, and fewer velocity spikes even in high-rate-of-fire situations.

The internal regulator system maintains stable pressure output from the first fill to the last few shots, minimizing performance dips as air levels drop. Players who rely on consistency in competitive environments trust the Mega Lite for that exact reason.

Lightweight Yet Tough

The “Lite” in Empire Mega Lite isn’t just a name—it’s a true design advantage. The tank features a carbon fiber wrap over a durable aluminum liner, reducing overall weight while maintaining structural integrity under extreme pressures. The result is a tank that’s comfortable to carry and maneuver, even during extended matches.

Compared to older steel or aluminum tanks, the Empire Mega Lite cuts significant weight off your setup. The lighter build improves marker balance, reducing fatigue and making it easier to stay mobile throughout the game. For tournament players who dive, slide, and sprint, every ounce matters—and this tank helps you move faster and play longer.

Advanced Regulator Engineering

Empire’s regulator design is known for reliability and serviceability. The Mega Lite Regulator delivers a steady 800psi output—ideal for both mechanical and electronic markers—and includes dual burst disks for added safety.

Each regulator is factory-tested for pressure consistency and long-term durability, ensuring years of performance before requiring maintenance. The regulator threads fit all standard ASA adapters, so you can swap tanks or setups without needing modifications.

Features of the Empire regulator:

• Precision output control: Stable 800psi feed to your marker

• Dual burst disk protection: Prevents over-pressurization damage

• 360° rotational fill nipple: Convenient hose connection

• Replaceable fill nipple filter: Keeps contaminants out of your air system

• Pressure relief venting: Ensures safety under all conditions

Built for Competitive Play

In speedball, every second counts—and every shot matters. The Empire Mega Lite’s 68ci / 4500psi configuration provides enough air to fire 900–1,000+ shots per fill (depending on your marker’s efficiency). That’s plenty for most tournament points or full woodsball rounds without needing to swap tanks or refill mid-game.

The balanced form factor also makes it ideal for both front and back players. It’s compact enough for agile front runners and large enough to sustain high-volume firing for back players covering lanes.

Safety and Certification

Empire prioritizes player safety above all else. Each Mega Lite tank is rigorously tested and fully certified for both DOT (U.S.) and TC (Canada) standards. The carbon fiber shell undergoes pressure testing to ensure structural integrity, while the regulator includes dual burst disks to safely vent excess pressure in case of overfill or malfunction.

The 5-year hydro testing cycle ensures your tank remains compliant and safe to use across commercial fields and events. Tanks that pass hydro testing can remain in service for up to 15 years, providing excellent long-term value.

Easy Maintenance and Longevity

The Empire Mega Lite is engineered to last. Regular cleaning of the fill nipple filter and O-rings, combined with proper storage and refilling practices, keeps your tank operating smoothly for years. The regulator is field-serviceable with basic tools, and replacement parts are widely available.

Maintenance tips for longer life:

1. Avoid over-tightening the regulator when attaching it to your ASA.

2. Always fill slowly to reduce internal heat buildup.

3. Keep fill nipples capped and clean.

4. Store tanks partially filled (300–500 psi) to prevent internal moisture buildup.

5. Hydro test every five years to maintain safety certification.

Ideal For All Player Levels

Whether you’re a new player upgrading from a basic aluminum tank or a competitive athlete who demands efficiency, the Empire Mega Lite fits perfectly into any setup. Its balance of performance, capacity, and weight makes it one of the most versatile tanks available today.

Perfect for:

• Tournament and speedball players needing reliable air capacity

• Woodsball and scenario players playing extended matches

• Upgraders moving from steel tanks to carbon fiber

• Players seeking a proven, high-quality tank without overspending

Long-Term Value
