For awhile I thought it was going to be a walk in the park, until I got my regulator and tried hooking it up to the tank.
It wouldn't thread. So I kept screwing and screwing, and finally something caught and it started threading in. At first I was scared as heck, I thought it wasn't the right fit, but it does fit, it's probably just designed poorly or I don't know how to hand screw things lol.
Anyways I tried turning on the tank for the first time ever, and it just bursted with a shit ton of pressure! It made the gauges go out of whack. Then I figured out later that I had the pressure gauge set turn too tightly, so that didn't helped. Aside from having no idea how to work this thing, or if the flow is correct on it.... it leaks. :( I did a soapy water test on it and it leaks.
I think I can't do this method because I can't find any other regulator suitable for me. The regulator needs to have a barb for the hose, and none of them do.
Ultimately I think I'm going to have to live because I can't see myself swallowing poison (SN) or hanging. This really sucks but eventually time will pass and I will too. :(
