Customer Reviews - Pin Valve Regulator for 20oz (Paintball Style) CO2 Tank


Complete and functional, but could be more....

Bottom line:

Performance: 10/10

Basic price: 7/10 (needed a few add-ons)

I bought one of these for my kegerator/paintball tank setup, and it has functioned well and durably, despite being one of the cheapest setups. I eventually bought a 3000 psi gauge for it so I had a better idea of my overall gas reserves, but I really wish this set included or had as an easy option, a 0-30 PSI gauge instead of the 0-60 PSI one. Since I'm usually using this set at 5-10 psi, this crams the normal operating range into around 10% of the gauge and leaves it not only hard to read, but frankly in the most inaccurate mechanical range of the gauge itself.

I still use it and probably would buy it again for my purposes, but just wish I didn't have to get so many add-ons to make it what I really need.

Finally... a regulator that works for paintball

I have used several different 'mini regulators' on my paintball CO2 tanks. They are all awful. Turn the knob the slightest bit and the pressure goes nuts. In calculus we'd call that D-Theta.

This thing WORKS CORRECTLY. You can turn the knob a bunch to make a small change in the pressure. And it's stable. And the pressure gauge works correctly also. The mini-regulator gauges are junk.

Wish I'd found this before. Now I'll use those lousy mini-regulators for carbonation, where I'm OK with higher pressures and am less concerned with precision and accuracy.
