SMC pneumatics compatibility with new vex kit

We are looking at buying a second air tank but don’t want to buy a second kit. SMC sells one on their site but I want to make sure that it will work with the current vex kit. Along with any other things we would need to make it compatible such as a new valve stem.

No, the new valve will not fit the SMC version. (The new valve uses an M5 thread, while the old one has a different thread as shown here)

Other than having a new valve stem (comes in packs of 25) and resevoir fitting, it should fit the same tubing.

Alternative to buying a new valve stem

You still have to buy the fittings, but you can use the method shown below to avoid buyign 25 schrader valves:
