I'm part of the club guys! Where do I get my official t shirt?
I spent like $1k so I needed to tell someone. Forgive me.
Is there any detailed information about how much more efficient these low flow poppets are? Also how about the wider nozzles? I bought a silver nozzle for the purpose of running the biggest nozzle that will maybe let me shoot at 350 while using the least amount of air. I bought two 68ci 4500 tanks (OUCH!). I want to see what the limit is on shots per tank. I have some "range anxiety" if you will.

Anything above a stock nozzle will let you hit 350 while using less air. Unless you are going for a red or purple nozzle and high fps , I've seen it suggested to keep the stock poppet with a slightly bigger than stock nozzle.
Your barrel length with also factor in to your psi/fps.
I'm running a stock nozzle and poppet and hit 1.14j at about 70 psi.
A rough gauge on shot count is (Tank Capacity) x (Tank Pressure/100)

I thought that estimate was assuming you're using 120 PSI on the stock nozzle. Is that still accurate at like 80?

I've seen it for using 120 psi to 100 psi, so I usually just use it as a rough estimate. I've yet to get my tank filled all the way to 4500, so I've never been able to do a true test on shots per tank.

I'm plan on doing some research, but in case you read this before I figure it out, I'm thinking about buying a scuba tank for refills. I'm a certified diver so it serves a dual purpose for me (even though tank rentals are dirt cheap). Do you know if all I need is the yoke valve adapter to fill the HPA tank? Is this all I need? www.amazon.com/Ninja-Paintball-SCUBA-Fill-Station/dp/B001T6I1K0/ref=pd_sbs_sg_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1Z72GGQFW7G6PX9CF6B2Or do I need an additional air line? I noticed that amazon shows it as frequently purchased with this... www.amazon.com/PaintballSky-Paintball-Fill-Whip-Extension/dp/B00DUMIAXE/ref=pd_bxgy_sg_text_yBut couldn't I just use the line that runs to the gun? or is that not rated for 3000 PSI?

The line that runs from the air-rig to the gun is not rated to 3000 psi.

Do you even need an extension to fill your small HPA tank or couldn't you just hook your tank right up to the scuba tank adapter? EDIT: Nevermind! www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlHv0DRElAA

I bought a silver nozzle. I'm going to see how low I can go on that and go from there. I'm not worried at all about RPS. 20 or so is good enough for me. Hopefully the silver can go down to 350.

TBB or OEM barrel?
300mm should be doable. A OEM barrel will make it easier, but you should still be able to hit 350.

For air "efficiency" you should check out the Lightning Banjo. I just picked one up as they are supposed to be a good upgrade if you're looking to maximize your shots. So I haven't had any personal experience with it as of yet. It's kind of still in the testing stages, but early stages for most people are showing good results (not catastrophic like an extra 10k or anything, but possibly an extra 10%+ on your settings/setup).
