    FE setup problems - Wish i'd never started!

    I was just thinking about using the reg mate. I think this reg will fit the disposable co2 bottles from machine mart so will probs just use them to tide me over for now till I can afford a decent reg.

    I've tried this already. Was going to remove where the reg meets the the hose but my word its in there very very very well. Must have about half a gallon of loctite on it or something. Will not move at all. The thing is I do think this will solve the problem if I can remove it. :thumbdown:

    Thanks for all your input everyone. So the conclusion is that the reg is pants and is never going to the job I want. Ok I cant really afford a new reg at the min, but I do have this kit as well-...

    FE setup problems - Wish i'd never started!

    I can blow through the needle valve when its fully open and cant as i shut it. Its letting the co2 through now. The solenoid is on a timer so comes on automatically. This was when it burst the hose last time.

    Its burst the tube again. between the reg and needle valve. barely turn the reg on. It burst just as the solenoid was going to click on. Its getting a bit annoying now. Is there some way to adjust the reg? there doesnt look like there is too me. unless the yellow tap thing comes off.
