Are any of yours the multi stage type? If so I may be interested in more of them! Aka swap out my other 2 std regs if this one operates better.
Oh dear. Guess what regulator I have? Just to be clear is yours leaking at the connection to the bottle? I'll need to check mine tomorrow, would leak detecting spray like you used to check LPG work?I have bought Argon regs from Static Arc before. They have a line at £20 posted. Normally these were decent before but the latest ones with the small grey knob are clearly made from a much cheaper factory and don't even have a QC checked sticker on them like the one I got 6 months ago did.
(Their site and ebay listings show the black knob one this is the only photo showing the new type they send out with the small grey knob. However the whole body is visually different from the prior ones they sold 6 months ago)
Mine arrived in perfect condition with no damage yet leaked badly. Only I have 3x bottles and 2x other regs I was able to determine with 100% certainty it was a poorly made ball fitting to bottle on their new reg which is the problem.

I had similar with our propane a while ago. Twice a cylinder was leaking at the hose and it was definitely the hose. You could see a gap in the bright ring round the cone showing it didnt seat all the way round. The gas man recommended that leak spray every time we change a cylinder.
If you mean our propane issues, I got both hoses replaced. It was only after we'd had a second cylinder leaking and I did a bit of swapping around that I narrowed it down to hose rather than cylinder. Just made me a bit paranoid, and the leak detector spray seems a better than my previous method of listening and sniffing.If it were that bad, I'd bin it. If fact, if it were just a bit bad, I'd bin it.

weve done that lolI was waiting for the argument to start all over again
OK I'm officially blind. Mine is leaking in the same way, at the fitting to the gas bottle. Just emailed them and I'll see what he says.The good news is I'm not detecting a leak between my Argon mix cylinder and the regulator.
This sort of configuration? This particular inage from an Ebay listing and probably a pretty low quality example, although rarely it is actually the right orientation for a rent free bottle. ..I wouldn't pay money for a that style anyways, always the flow meter with the vertical clear tube & ball.
