Switching to HPA tank on Wolverine BOLT

Hi guys!
I'm currently running a Wolverine BOLT with the STORM regulator attached to the Wraith CO2 adapter using 12g CO2 cartridges on my vsr-10.
I am thinking to switch to a 13ci HPA tank therefore I want to know if I can reuse my STORM regulator attached to the new HPA tank.

Did anyone made this setup until now or has any experience regarding this kind of setup? If yes, I would appreciate if you can recommend me a HPA tank and the HPA line that are compatible with my STORM regulator. Any links for the setup or brand names would be great.
I am just trying to figure out what I can reuse from the current setup and what I need to buy for the new setup.
From what I could see, the HPA tank has a pressure gauge attached to it but also the regulator has a pressure gauge. I am a bit confused also about this subject. What is the gauge from the tank used for?

Lastly, if you have any links to some tutorials or info regarding this subject please feel free to drop them here (If allowed). Otherwise, don't hesitate to message me

All the best,
Gheorghe

You can reuse that regulator.

I'd either get an Aliexpress 4.5K .2 liter tank, or one of my tanks(much smaller).
You'll need to get a first stage regulator that has an output of 900 PSI or lower, but other than that, nothing crazy.

The gauge on the tank is to tell you how much air you have.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for replying. I have some more questions:
1. Are you creating/selling hpa tanks or I misunderstood?

2. For the aliexpress setup you posted basically what I need to do is to attach the regulator (from the aliexpress link) to the HPA tank then attach the STORM regulator to it, right?
3. I see that on the regulator from aliexpress we have an Allen key setting screw. What is that used for? For example if I want to run my STORM regulator to 180 psi (as I'm doing now with co2 cartridges), should I adjust anything from that Allen key screw?

All the best

I make a different style of tank, but they are a bit better for M4 style guns or a place where you can put a longer tank.

Yeah, you attach that regulator, then attach the STORM you have.

Those screws hold the regulator together, it has a fixed output pressure of 800 PSI.
You will just adjust pressure with your STORM reg, that's how every HPA setup works.
