Anyone know of good, dependable regulators? The dual gage is what I'm looking for. I'm about sure the one I have is permanently damaged. It won't adjust, or regulate down to 10psi. In fact, 38psi is the lowest I can get.

Maybe all regulators are created equal - I don't know... :confused:

I like the TapRite regulator I got from www.rapidswholesale.com

See my web site for more info on various regulator sources of supply:

hey joe

When I get my act together and order my CO2 system, I'm going to get the Milwauke regulator. I've seen it a few places online, its about $80 (aquatic-store, ereef, etc...)

aquatic-store said it was a great regulator, and I like the appearance and inclusion of a solenoid, bubble counter, needlevalve (i will prob replace/supplement with a clippard) and of course, 2 guages.

nanahachi, that one is fine, minus the bubble counter and solenoid as I have those already. I need just a regulator. My old one may have been a good product, and the "dump" I had may have ruined it.

Regulators and their manufacturers seem elusive - unlike SCUBA regulators where there can be many strong opinions on what is best.
