SMACO S400 Mini Scuba Tank Reusable Diving Tank 1L

Got this to use for fun in shallower waters or as my pony/spare air bottle. DO NOT PUT NITROX OF ANY SORT IN IT!!! This is intended for regular air mix! It has worked perfectly for me & goes well with the bracket I have for my tank. Really eases my mind & for comfort, have brought it down deep with me. Gotta purchase the manufacturer's air compressor or better, buy an adapter & use the air mix from your big tanks & fill it up with that to get the proper air mixture. My family & friends enjoy it a lot! Good design, good colors, good stamping & details, easy to breathe out of, regulate your air flow with the twisting knob, good cross chest & belly harness, strong strap to hold the bottle, easy to fill up, good packaging, card for bottle included, psi gauge, purge button on regulator, reliable, durable, trustworthy, & travel friendly. Overall, I highly recommend this for anyone who knows & is certified on how to scuba dive!

Loved it very easy to use and very great quality. Easy to carry around and lightweight!

Good for dive fishing

The breath, flow control mouthpiece seems crude and inconsistent The pressure reduction valve so far works fine Low pressure hose is way too stiff This may be necessary at depth to keep it from collapsing

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this - very good fit and finish and I don’t think if you bought this in a dive shop it would look any better. The shoulder holder works well. Those are the pluses. There are some minor minuses which I will list here: The gauge is a little hard to read the numbers, but once you figure out what numbers go with the color code, you’re fine. The mouth low pressure valve is a little sticky - in other words, as you breath in, it really takes a good bit of negative lung pressure to get it to activate fully. It wasn’t too bad - I like it a little bit that way so you don’t use so much air. Also, the front unscrews easily and comes apart nicely. There is a tiny nut on the actual valve and it looks like this may be an adjustment for this. Haven’t gotten around to looking for my tiny wrenches yet. The directions are OK, but not very detailed - for instance there is nothing about adjusting the second stage valve and the English is OK, but not great. The little cap that covers the fill nipple is not a tight enough fit. This lets water get into the fill nipple which if you’re not careful, will end up in the tank when you next fill it. Worst off, the low pressure hose smelled terribly of industrial manufacturing. Not breathing grade. I soaked and rinsed off the secondary valve and hose, and noticed a slight oily residue on top of the water. Then I assembled it and pumped up the tank to about 2000 psi to try it out. After 5 minutes using it in the pool, my lungs started to burn. I stopped, and let the air out. I rinsed out the hose several more times, noticing there was still a slight oily residue on the water. I also washed out the interior of the tank this time. I’m afraid they used an industrial hose instead of one specifically for breathing. However, it is also possible my pump contributed to this. I do have an oil-free pump, but I will now get the tank filled with scuba air and see if I notice a difference. If I do, I will update here appropriately. If my lungs continue to burn and I can determine it’s because of the hose, this will end up a one-star.

I’ve used this on a few different dives now, primarily in lakes. The best part about this is the compact size. It’s easy to carry on my paddle board, and with the pump it can be refilled on the go. I’ve been using it for dives approximately 15 minutes long and have had no problems. Super fun for diving in hard to reach locations where lugging a regular tank would be impossible. This fills a much needed niche, not to mention its viability as a back up tank on longer dives. Fun to bring out on beach days and disappear for a bit. Super solid construction. Both stages of the regulator are bullet proof. Shoulder sling is comfortable and easy to adjust. Useable with or without a wetsuit. Really solid components, as good of quality as I’ve seen anywhere else.

This product advertises that you can refill it it doesn’t come with a fitting. You have to take it somewhere.

And i share with you,, the supplies you need for your S400 tank. It's a shame, the review from the Dive Portable lungs brand owner. Over this product, the Smaco S400. He have not even used this profuct to give an honest Review. And he is bashing on it, because he is the Owner of a tank and smaco is competition for him. Makes no sense to say. That the Smaco S400 is a waste of money, over its design. Absolutely Ridiculous. And i personally love the S400 Workmanship, and i take my hat down to Smaco. Please whoever have the power to remove reviews on amazon. Please Take down that review from Cameron. Is not honest and has no logic. He is just an opposing competitor. In the Portable scuba industry. He is just trying for people to not purchase these tanks, from any sellers. As flygoo. Someone check on him on Facebook, Instagram. Dive Portable Lungs Owner Cameron Barbeau. He ships his tanks and Pump with no protection in a prepaid USPS Box. And the tank's hardware, such as the 2nd stage, or tank connections may leak air, within its use. The gauges get full of water, and its condensarion turns the gauge Blurry. He increased the price from his little tanks starter kit, with no workmanship upgrade. To $895.95, from $695.95. Whenever he releases the larger tank to retail. For sure will go behond $1,000 dollars. And the Smaco S400 will still lead in design and performance. His larger tank will use the same cheap Aluminum connections.

Je l’utilise depuis plus d’un an et je suis satisfait. J’ai un compresseur pour la remplir et cela fonctionne très bien. Je peux respirer sous l’eau entre 10 minutes et 15 minutes. Il est nécessaire de rester calme et de faire des mouvements lents pour augmenter la durée dans l’eau.

I'm a big boy so I only get about 8-10 minutes of air on it but it's been invaluable for clearing the weeds off our keel and rudder before we start a race. It's pretty light and very straight forward to use. I don't yet have the compressor so I can fill it myself. Rather, I take it to the local dive shop and I've convinced them to just tap it off a big tank for $5 each fill which only takes about a minute.

J’ai retournée le produit j’ai l intention d’en acheter un avec compresseur au printemps j’ai du retournée le produit à mes frais 51$ et je n’ai toujours pas été remboursée vraiment déçu🧐

J’aimerais vraiment savoir ou est la pompe jai juste reçu la bouteille et non la pompe et la j’ai aucune information où elle est rendu la pompe

Great size decedent quality
