    Started having problem with this recently. When the PSI drops below 1000, it has problem maintaining the working presssure. The output PSI will rise to about 50.

    Happened for the past few times after each top up.

    Time to change for a better one?

    normal for single stage, PSI drop below 1000 meaning there is no more liquid form CO2 in the tank. Thus pressure start dropping. Dual stage regulator will have better regulation but unfortunately I have not see any of those at LFS.

    How do you guys work with such issues? This is like the 10th top up then it started happening.

    Otherwise, i have to go custom build one.

    For my regulator, it start unstable around 400 psi, what I do is just top up.

    Have you check for leakage? I'm curious because you said "past few times after each top up"

    Sorry I might have made mistaken, the "A-165 regulartor" have adjustable pressure that mean it is very likely dual stage. It should be more stable.

    This started happening recently after 10th topup. Not sure why the last few topups, it happened when the tank is near empty

    Does anyone know if your solenoid can adjust the gas output pressure then it's must be dual stage, or not always ?

    Not always. Dual stage is different. There is a sticky on tpt forum. It is bukier. And also the price difference you pay.

    Never had the experience of eotd experience until now.
