Best regulators are? List up, in your opinion what the best HPRs are.
For me its going to have to be
2 Liter
360
CP
ST
Torp

dont forget the sidewinder. both AKA regs are just modified (very well i may add) torpedos.

I never have like the Sidewinder. Just looks and feels odd to me.

Imma have to say CP, Torp, and Palmers Stabilizer for Co2

The sidewinder is actually more like a CP if I remember right.

really? i have a manual for sidewinder assembly and it uses a schrader-style valve.

Now this is a CP:

I never cared for AKA reg.'s my personal preferences are CP for N2 and Palmer's or torpedo for Co2.

ive decided i dont like my torp for co2. it dries up the dow too fast.

I used lurker lube on all my reg.s' and have never had a problem with it drying out. I'm not sure what type of grease it is but I'd like to find out.

I like to use Hater Marmalade on my regs. It's nice and thick.

Co2, Palmer all the way. The way it & its parts are made compared to the Torpedo, to me make it better. Feed it a good shot of Lucas Air Tool Oil & roll on.

HPA, my Torpedos are doing good. They & rams get regreased after a day of play, at least 2 cases per day. ITs fine, it works but it just seems like it could be made better. Tighter tolerances. The 2Liter, after reading about it & seeing that recharge test some years ago & being able to compare it to others Ive made my decision to get one (one day). Im already impressed by the SCM3 compared to the stock BLAST LPRs. Quality seems to be there in BLAST parts but AKA regs seem to be machined from it.

On a side note, if AKA would make a rail mounted, adjustable tank reg (0-1500) with an on-off like a Dynaflow, flowed like an Armageddon & easy to adjust like a MaxFlo Manifold, I would be on it faster than a fat kid on a cup cake.

I agree, that would be amazing, the only problem is is that might infringe with the sp maxflo and then they would once again get the crap sued out of them....

And im gonna have to agree with almost everyone else on the page, i ran a 2 liter on an alias once and never saw anything recharge that fast in my life. Also as for the torpedoes, i love how they are put together, you can clean and lube it without removing a single screw or even removing the macroline. Ive never touched the 360 which i have heard was an improvement to the torpedo. As for CPs im not sure on there popularity... one of my team mates has one on a G3 and it doesn't have incredible accuracy or recharge not sure what the draw is....

Smart Parts (the company) can suck my cock. Some of their products are rather good (MaxFlo Manifold) & some are good ideas that need some improvements (Freak).

As far as the MaxFlo goes, I ran one on my EM1 with no vertical regulator, & would get +/-3 over the chrono.

What I meant by AKA making a tank reg that would adjust like a MaxFlo, is the ease of it. As long as you dont tighten the locking screw down you can turn it up or down. Which is great if your on-off oring craps out on you.
