Just wanted some opinions from people who have started off with nitrogen and went to compressor. Do you regret it?

It depends how much you play with the bags and if you like them fast or not. Everything will be slower but you learn to love it especially after you friends hit all over you and run out of bottle and have to skiptoe home. Ive ran air from day one and im just getting ready to run both. I will still mainly run air and only run the bottle when i want to play around.

thats why I'm asking. I want to know if the compressor setup is so much slower that you want to go back to nitrogen.

I like the two viair 480 comps with one 7 gallon it lets you play even when you need higher psi than most trucks. i like runnin nitrogen in my truck for playing at shows, but if i am out crusin around on a normal day then compressors are fine. plus i dont like to have just a bottle to fill ur ride, i like haveing a good compressor set up to back it up.

nitrogen is for the birds, i run 2 viair 450s on a 5gal tank and they fill in under a minute or so and its way more controllable.

I've never had nitrogen but i've had electric and engine driven compressors and if you can get the engine driven. There's no extra current draw and they are quiet and fast and last a lot longer when compressing to higher psi.

I hate compressors. I have a bottle 7 gallon tank and a viair 350 just in case. Nothing beats a fresh bottle on fri night.

i had nitrogen on my hardbody for a while but i was pretty switch happy so i would go threw one of the 5 foot tall bottels in about a day and a half so i decided to take it out and put my engine driven on from the mazda i had and would run it to about 250 to 275 psi and never regreted it
