4500psi regulator with 2000psi output $32.99
It took 6 weeks to get here. Original ETA was 4 weeks.
Tracking showed it never left China until it arrived in my mailbox.
Today I took it and my new Tippman tank to the local Paintball Complex to have the Tippman 850 Reg removed and this one installed on my new bottle.
Guy looks at me cross-eyed... "This is a 2000psi output... and for a 4500 tank?"
Starts to show me the differences in it and the 3000psi Tippman on my tank. Then pulls out a Ninja 4500 psi Reg... WOW beefey!
He said he would do the swap, but it probably wont put out 2000, it's a cheap 850 reg at best. I said what the heck, lets give it a try.
So he swapped it over, calls his employee over and say's. "Look at this quick and tell me what you think it is... Kid says "Junk"(!)
"OK" Boss says, "Put it in the cage and don't go over 3000 and make sure it doesn't leak."
Kid comes back and says it passed.
I leave....scared.
Get home and try to hook up my Ninja fill station. As soon as the threads start to engage this thing is spewing air out the hose end and the reg output.
Crickey! So I put the whip's fostner fitting on the gun and try again... quickly screwing the Ninja fill station on the reg, air blowing until seated.
Whew , all is quiet.
Then I open the fill station inlet and HPA starts blowing out the seams of the Reg!!!
OK I AM DONE!
Disconnected everything and logged onto Amazon and made the first review of this product. Starting and ending with IT WILL KILL YOU.
Sorry if the Mods see this as bashing but DANG! The word needs to get out on this Chinese JUNK before someone gets hurt or worse!
Mean while my ExpertHPA 1600PSI reg on a Ninja 48/3000 bottle with the same treatment today performed flawlessly... just so you know it wasn't operator error.

Scary truth... but I doubt Amazon reads it.
Just hope to save others money... at the LEAST!
