I get consistant shoots on co2 and no freeze up. The regulator does get somewhat cold but so do expansion chambers. I'm usually the one who lays down the paint while the younger players advance and I can empty a VL 2000 without any freeze up or velocity problems. The regulator works as a grip too. I would recommend this product to anyone and it is worth the cost.
Palmer products are some of the best on the paintball market.
This is BY far the best regulator i have seen or used. Runs SO well with an autococker, but even more impressive it runs just as well with my Spyder Xtra. My shots are more consistent, longer, and more straight and accurate. It's improved so much you hsould be able to see differences in your shot with your naked eye. With a lifetime warranty on this durable and reliable reg, you are getting your money's worth.
