Pure Energy tanks have a 3 yr. warranty from the manufacture on the pin valve. These Co2 tanks will fit all paintball guns (except those that require 12g cartridges). Please refer to your marker's owner's manual first to ensure the marker is compatible with CO2.
I use my tanks for powering pneumatic nailers. I ordered two tanks, one works great the other was DOA, the valve leaks so it won't hold a filling. I am having to work with the manufacturer to get it replaced. That is a bummer.

There's not really too much you can say about a CO2 tank. Most tanks are manufactured by Luxfer Gas, so it's just the valve that really matters.
Though Pure Energy is made by Brass Eagle (BE), make sure you do get a Pure Energy instead of BE. BE valves are horrible. I know several people with a total of five tanks by BE, and they all leak or get busted quickly/easily.
CO2 lasts longer than HPA, but is more expensive to refill. Also, it can mess up your gun if you don't use it properly.
The number of shots you will get with this varies from gun to gun. For most Spyders and clones that accept CO2, you will get about 1000 shots out of a 20 oz, and about 800 from a 16 oz. This is how many good shots you can get out of them, not how many times it can possibly be fired. You can get more than quoted above out of these tanks, but they curve and don't go as far when low on fill. I have never owned a 9, 12, or 24 oz. cylinder, so I can't account for how many shots they hold.
If you are trying to compare a shot count from CO2 to HPA, it's rather easy. With a 3000 PSI HPA system, you'll get 10 shots per cubic inch. With a 4500 PSI system, you'll get 15 per cubic inch. HPA is good for the whole tank - it doesn't decrease in performance until about the last 50 shots.
CO2 tanks are all fillable to a maximum of 1800 PSI. All CO2 tanks are fillable this high. You don't have to worry about this factor with CO2, just HPA.
There is a large scientific study to be performed about the consistancy of CO2, but I'll keep it short. Just get a remote or anti-siphon tube, and it'll be a whole lot more consistent. Trust me.
