co2 systems

[jcardona1]

yeah they are the best out there. i kinda wish i would have gone with a Sumo. they were only a few bucks more than my regulator. either way, my setup is very good and hasnt given me any problems.

here's a pic of my setup with the DIY reactor

yeah it is! i just changed the design a little where the co2 enters the reactor. rather than just drill a hole and insert the line, i used brass fittings.

here's the thread on the reactor. you actually replied in that thread lol

I dont know about the best?

If your in the market for a regulator, be sure to get one that is UL Listed.
Without that, it aint nothing.

what does the UL listing have to do with how good a regulator is or how well a needle valve can hold its set flow rate?

once you get up into regs like the sumo and the GLA regs (the low end sumo is the same as the choice GLA reg) the most important thing will be your needle valve. either reg set up will work great. but being able to keep an exact bubble count is very important. IMO
