When I first received it, it seemed very good for the price. Finally replaced our old broken regulator and now disappointed. I'm not sure if that's just a defect, but the flow meter is definitely not reading. Typically 25 cfh goes through my Furik cup when working with stainless steel. With this 25 cfh regulator, the torch will emit argon like an air hose. probably well north of 35-40cfh. It still works, but now I run the meter at 15 cfh or less to keep the flow in check.
