Wendell, good write up but why do you say the right gage has no purpose? that is your actually out put PSI and most of the problems people are having with diminishing bubbles are cause by the output pressure being to low. I have found that if I close my needle valve and set my out put PSI to 3 to 5 PSI then use my needle valve to set the bubble rate I have no problems what so ever. so I guess it is how you set it up as to weather it is the most important gage or not. personally I think for our purposes the first gage (tank PSI) is useless as weather we have 2200PSI or 200 PSI we are going to be able to get a constant flow of bubbles, the only time we run out is when the actually liquid CO2 in the tank is gone as then the gas is used up rapidly, this is why everyone complains that there tank gives no warning of running out.
