i always wanted this regulator but could not justify the cost using those expensive $10 disposable co2 cartridges. i decided to get one and see if i could make an adapter so i could use refillable co2 paintball tanks. i turned the adapter out of aluminum and then bought the appropriate tap and die to cut the the threads. i will use the 20 oz tanks to push my 2 tap jockey box and plan to buy this cool little 3.5 oz tank for dispensing from my 2.5 gallon corny. refills on the 20oz tank are $2 at my local paintball shop.

You can also use a standard paintball "remote" with included adapters and hook a PB tank right up to a standard regulator, works fine.

Neat. Where are you getting your co2 cartridges though? I pay about $1 a piece.

You can also connect the Leland regulator with standard fittings from the hardware store.

Where do you gert them for $1 each? The cheapest I've been able to find is $7. Keep in mind these are not the little 8 or 16 gram cartridges, but 72 (?) gram screw in cartridges.

Now I know what to do with my paintball stuff during the off season (and really the on season as well). I have a regulator and pressure gage. I can use my extra drop forward and the spare 4"length of stainless steel hose. It will be a little more flimsy, but traveling will still be easier.

I am going to get a 20oz paintball canister.

Will I need an adapter for the canister? If so can I get this from Lowes/HomeDepot?

Can you point me to a parts list I will need?

Thanks

Where are you guys buying these Leland regulators from? The order form at lelandltd.com seems a bit sketchy, and doesn't have any kind of pricing. I have tried google/ebay/etc with no luck.

Thanks

Both MoreBeer and Williams Brewing carry the regulators. Both suppliers are TBN sponsors. Buy from one of them, and let them know you listen to the BN and appreciate their sponsorship.

Hey WhiteManCapHop, can you provide more details on the adaptor you made? My dad has a lathe in his garage and I may take on the project if I have some free time. The main thing I'm not understanding is how you dealt with the pin valve on the paintball tank.
