So it's been out for over a month now (I think) anyone reporting any gross problems with them yet?

There are some problems with over pressure due to faulty regs, I heard. There is no over pressure poppet, I understand, and the failure makes a loud BAM kinda noise.

your supposed to wind the pressure right down on your reg before you gas up for the very first time then slowly turn it up to about 180 psi , this is supposed to stop the reg from failing

Or alternatively run an armageddon into it first

(Of course this does double the weight of the whole setup!!!!)

Ever the technical one huh Gyro...

Had pretty good results with the PGi test one, no BAM's yet, the odd HMMPH, a couple of CHANGS and PU-CHOWS.

God I love my job.

You know, I like to keep up with the latest journals, read the abstracts for many serious publications, keep abreast of all developements as they are given names.

I have a little code I am trying out to indicate how directly familiar I am with things and how much is reckless hearsay picked up from other technically minded colleagues and people. Sort of a built in credibility meter. But this guy on the internet sounded pretty sincere about the BAM thing.
