 Subject: Thomas 4101 vs. Viar 450
IP: Logged
Message:
Hey what's up? So i'm pretty new to bagging and i've just started to buy my kit recently and have run into a snag. My friend and some guys he knows in *** ****, swear up and down that the Thomas 4101 is the compressor to get. I've been told by a couple other people that it wouldnt due to it's low CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) at only .95 CFM. I must say though it is a pretty beefy compressor. My friend just recieved his in the mail yesterday and it's a beast. But compared to two Viar 450's, for around the same price as that one Thomas, I can get 1.66 CFM on each compressor. Both are 100% duty cylce with the Thomas being the tougher compressor. Weather resistant and rebuildable. But then again the Viair's are chromed out and i've heard nothing but good reviews of them. However i've been told the Thomas can fill a 14 gallon tank in about a minute and a half. How is that possible with such a low CFM? I'm lost. Help.
Thanks
P.S. My setup includes 2 six gallon tanks and 1/2" valves.

dont know about the thomas but i had 2 viair 450c's on my focus that was bagged and those things are great.
they dont get very hot, they are extremely quiet compared to other compressors and look good(not huge) ild recomend them to anyone,
btw how fast the tank fill depends entirely on the psi switch you are using...
i was running a 8.5 gal tank but i was running i believe it was a 250 psi switch....it only took me about a min if that much to fill the tank w/2 450's
if hes only running a 130 pressure switch it makes complete sense
