I'm concidering adding a CO2000 fem. reg. to my marker, and i wanted u guys' opinion on a short x chamber that would go well with this set-up. Basically, I am going to have the reg. going into the vert. asa, then the x chamber below that.

Ummm, female threads aren't what you want then. You screw things into female threads! They won't go into the vertical adapter. You want a Male regulator.

Before getting an exnansion chamber, get an anti-siphon. They go inside the tank, cost 20 bucks, and are very effective. After using that with the reg, chances are you won't even need the expansion chamber.

But if you still want one, just get a cheap one. They're all the same pieces of junk. Or just get a large metal tube. That'll probably work better, and cost only 3 bucks from Lowes.

Hahah! thanks man.. i run a remote, so chances are ill get that CO2000, an ACI 4 stage, so that whole setup isnt ridiculously huge..

Okay, then don't get the anti-siphon if you're running remote.

Why not just get a palmer stab. instead of a reg and an ex-chamber. That would work better for about the same price. Or you could buy a cheap hpa system for $70-120.:D

Thanks fellas...
Yeah, I've been also researching Palmer Stabilizers and I hear they're excellent for use with either CO2 or N2. My only question is if, say I hook it up to my remote fill station (tank adapter), in the event that liquid CO2 enters the stabilizer, will I still experience spikes in velocity? :eyes: Also, so you're saying with that set up, persay, I wouldn't need an expansion chamber anymore?

Thanks for you guys' patience!!! :D
