co2 regulators. $50 ebay?????

hello, I am getting ready for some CO2 in my flower room, and have been shopping around. for a regulater, I seen some for $50-$60 on ebay, I was just wondering if they are any good??? it seems like it is fairly basic, so do i get the $50 one or the $140 hydrofarm (active air) one???????//

I'd buy the Hydrofarm, Titan or CAP brands as they are designed and tested for indoor horticulture. Thats just my opinion because I'm not cheap and I believe in " you get what you pay for" .. Co2 regulators dont have many moving parts so there isnt much to them.

I agree, I have a Titan regulator and it works very well. It's a little loud when opening but that sound has become music to my ears.

They're all pretty much the same, made in china. service from the distributor if there's a problem is the only difference. I bought a digigro one for 79 bucks and it works great.

Just bought parts for my car, disk rotors. do you want to 20, 30 or 40 dollar rotors. Only difference is he warranty and the box.

I hear you but cheap auto parts suck too.. I changed two water pumps and two AC compressors that were bought from NAPA, they are junk !!! Bought the next pair of parts at the dealer and ever since then no problems...But every now and then you get lucky. I bought my first 1,000W HPS hood,light,ballast from ebay (no name china brand) about 5 years ago because it was dirt cheap. I have replaced the bulbs but the hood and ballast are still rocking!

But why do they put a guarantee on the box?

Tommy: Because they know all they sold ya was a guaranteed piece of shit. That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time. But for now, for your customer's sake, for your daughter's sake, ya might wanna think about buying a quality product from me.

Craigslist that shit. I don't know where you're located but CAP regs go for between 50-100 here in socal. I've also seen 20lb aluminum tank/reg combos for 75-150. Amazon and Ebay aren't the only places on the internet.
