Hey I saw this the other day when I went to Lowe's and it's the most perfect thing I've ever seen for c02 regulation. it costs about the same as a palmer, looks a lot cleaner, and needs no additional fitting to hook up to a regular 1/4" npt quick connect. What do you think?

its pretty good and will satify most needs spuder's needs, there's no shipping cost as a pro, but palmers are still incrediblely reliable since they are for paintball and they are flexible for N2 or CO2
I think a palmers female looks better then that!
The palmers will be more consistant and recharge faster.
But nice find!

it looks like it only goes up to 120 psi, which is a shame. Modification is always an option though, and *woot* they have one at my lowes, I know what i'm getting.

the 120 psi thing is probably a plus because it'll keep stupid people from overcharging their cannons. If you want higher than 120 palmers still work great, but I think this is a simpler solution for people new to C02.
well i just got one today and the thing can go well over 120 psi, just need a different gauge and cut some of the plastic off so you can get the regulator knob turned farther.
Personnally, i think this thing rocks, and the 100 price tag is damn good, cause you get the regulator, an empty tank, and a full one if the case has a coupon for one, a 27 dollar value free!!. It also accepts paintball tanks which are cheaper then the ones lowes sell. Personnally i think this is a better deal then a palmers cause it comes with so much more and should be easy to modify.

yeah they are, but they charge a whole bunch more. course you can buy one and just exchange it for a full one for like 3 bucks, but maybe thats just mine.

You can get normal paintball tanks filled for $5, I think Dicks will do it now since they are selling more paintball supplies.
I just found this

it is pretty good for the cost.

the one that e1337 posted, is it compatable with paintball tanks?

If it isn't directly compatible, I'm sure there are adapters that would work. That is a very interesting regulator, I'm seriously looking into buying one. Can anyone see a reason something like that wouldn't work?
actually there made for bulk co2 tanks. so if you bought that and a bulk tank even like a 5 lb tank then youd be set.
but if i was going to buy a reg for a bulk tank this is whered id go

if i got a bulk tank where would i go to get it filled? i would imagine that the threads are different from paintball tanks.
