[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 544489, member: 5219"] No condensation. Pushing pure co2 no water vapor inside. I suppose if you kept up the cooling till it got really cold the outside could condense some moisture. Of course it helps to live in Az where our humidity is usually quite low. To make this setup you need a regulator and a source for CO2. Once I bought my two tanks I exchange them for filled ones with the supplier. If there is no supplier in your city forget it. Cost is around $23 per tank. Each tank lasts several load development sessions. As for the regulator, I think you could take the bushing or whatever metal restrictor is inside and drill it out. I was lucky enough to have the supplier work with me to find a high flow regulator. All we did is hook up a hose that is approx 3/8" OD to the threaded part of regulator. I tapered the end of the hose so it would fit into the chambers. To make the CO2 last I feel the flow coming out of the barrel and try not to get it flowing to quickly, just enough to get things cooled down. I stop when I feel the cooling effects begin as the insides are coolest and need to radiate outwards. [/QUOTE]
