I am not after a new regulator, but happen to come across these and they seem pretty cheap. Theres always folks looking to pinch some pennies so I thought I'd throw the links out there and see what you all thought. Anyone seen them / use em / know about em?
Primary Beer CO2 Regulators
There as cheap as $32.95 but personally I was looking at the better model like this for $46.95:
The only thing I see off hand is since they are made for brewing they dont have selenoids, and their output hoses are larger. But you could always get inline reducer, etc. By the time you add on the cost of the reducer, needle valve, selenoid, and bubble counter you'd be in the ballpark or a bit higher than the cheapie all in one JBJ and milwaukie units, but I dont know if these might be better?
Edit> BTW they also have 20# aluminum CO2 tanks for less than $100! Thats significantly cheaper than my local welding store selling steel tanks.
