Hi,
I am interested in replacing/upgrading my regulator.
Doesn't have to have the flow meter floating ball sightglass.

I kind fancy this Victor gauge.
Any ideas?

I realise it doesn't help you much but I am curious how that is an upgrade. I would go to the ball type rather than from it. Is what you have of poor quality - or broken - that you want to change?

The gauge said 400-500 psi forever and then my Aluminum welds started blackening like I didn't have any gas-i guess i didn’t have any gas.
This came with the AHP 201. I like big easy to read gauges. Anyone use this Victor regulator?

I use those victor gauges on every tank I have (3 argon, 1 MiG, 1x oxy/acet) and have zero problems with them. Since you have two bottles currently, purging from the other is simple (another good reason to keep two bottles).
