AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
exactly, and i always said it was a bad idea to have joe shm oe dissasembling tanks/regs.
these are just an accident waiting to happen.
whats gonna happen when somone strips something or overtightens something?

The regulator stem has multiple 3 pressure releases which takes the safety of the system to the next level. First, we have two pressure release groves on the regulator stem designed to release air pressure from the bottle if it would ever start to unscrew. Second, we have a unique bleed hole in the regulator stem which will allow the tank to safely vent in case of any mishap. Finally there is a restrictor at the base of the regulator to ensure the regulator can be safely removed from the tank.
Could be worse. I'd be far more worried about people installing anti-siphon tubes in their CO2 tanks, this seems relatively foolproof. Seems like it would vent way before anything went wrong.
that goes for removing the reg, which is relatively safe all around, and the same as removing a brass valve for the most part.
however my concern is installing the spring kits, which is likely installed by removing parts of the reg itself, not very good.
for example, lets take reg A(nameless for legal reasons) that you can install new pistons and or spring kits to adjsut the pressure, the spring and pistons are removed through the top regulator assembly which is hex key threaded into the reg, what would happen if you removed that while the system is pressurized? what if you stripped that cap? or what if you installed something incoorectly.
and bleed holes and vents arent a guarantee accidents wont happen.
