Damn this is gonna be another punch to this months wage. Ive got gas lenses to buy, collets, cups, bodies, rods (cos ive only got few 1.6 left), stainless rods, my helmet is potato so need to buy a new one, gas refill, better gloves(current ones are clumsy af), trip to the steel yard for some box section and other bits and bobs (always come back with more than i originally planned on getting. Ideas spring to mind when i stare steel in the face haha) and also a Elga optimizer.
Hopefully that should see me for a while

Because that’s got nothing to do with the difference between a single and dual stage regs.
2 out lets doesn’t mean 2 stages of regulation.

You do not need to buy an Elga mate.Damn this is gonna be another punch to this months wage.

That would be mad if you can’t afford it.
Just google 2 stage regulator and buy a decent one. Job done should see you out about £80-100.

seconded about the cheap regulator thing, with one caveat: You can make a cheaper reg AND a cheap flowmeter work almost as well, if you fine tune it. This means screwing JUST enough pressure on the regulator to give you the flow that you want and a tiny bit more, and then turning down the flowmeter enough to get rid of the start surge.
It's not ideal though, and you do get what you pay for with a decent reg, with a lot more control over the flow.

Thanks for the replies fellers. Much appreciated. I don't know why i got mixed up with dual outlets and 2 stage regulators 
. Thanks for clearing it up. I found this video that helped clear the fog up too. I will get one in a couple of weeks after i have decided on which to go for.
