    Flatline Reg, Pros and Cons

    I've been thinking of getting the Flatline regulator installed on my 4500 PSI tank for some time now and I would like to know the pros and cons

    Thanks

    Pros- Fastest recharging, most consistent reg on the market.
    Cons-no bleed for degassing.

      I love my Flatline! It's consistent as hell and gives me no problems. A bleed valve would be really nice though...

          Hi I own a Flatline and an Armageddon.

          Compared to the Armageddon from Air America its light. The Reg is less then half the size. I used a Slidecheck for Bleding.

          Ill check if i can find a pic with the Flatline and the Armageddon on my Mag.

            I also use a slide check for bleeding the tank on my Flatline. I have had to have my regulator rebuilt once, but other than that no problems.

                I love my Flatline. Other than the bleeding issues already commented on it's all I could ask for. If I had the cash I'd put a Flatline system on all my markers.

                  I have an older style 68/3000 flatline on my backup DM4. Only thing I don't like is the cradle/mounting system, so I made my own.

                    just got a 70/45 from tuna

                    been a great tank so far, only problem is the bleedoff, i also use a slidecheck as well so that takes care of that minor problem easily

                          I have four Flatlines. The 3K systems are bullet-proof. The 4.5K system had reg. seat issues, but the white seat they came out with works well.

                          Actually, the only real problem with them is the gauges are the worst gauges. Ever.

                          I got tired of replacing them so I got some DYE mini's from Tuna and they've been holding up. The ones AGD put their name on were complete garbage.
