That's good to know, the one I have mentioned above is garbage. Currently just using the regulator to control.

CO2 Needle Valve Recommendation . . .
- Thread starter Wookii
- Start date
This is literally the exact information I needed. I am having the same experience with my co2 art needle valve. If you so much as LOOK at it too hard, the bubble rate shifts into ridiculously low or dangerously high levels. It also creeps up and down when nobody's looking, which I find extremely disturbing, considering the time effort and money in that tank.
So, I took your advice and bought this Camozzi one off Co2 Supermarket https://www.co2supermarket.co.uk/precision-camozzi-flow-controller-customiser-p331.html
I went for configuration B-A, hope that's right...!
It arrives tomorrow. I'm sure this will be a great help and all thanks to UKAPS!
(I'm especially pleased about the locking nut feature, so when it's set, it's set...)
I'll report back with my findings for future people in the same situation.
Thanks guys!

Did you end up setting this up? How did it work for you? Thanks!

I ended up using BARSTOCK METERING VALVE. code VM1-BB-6A bought from Home - Cache which is actually the same as VM1-BB-6A : Aalborg
It costed about £100 but it is worth every penny. 3 years in service and no faults so far. Tried Camozzi prior the above one but wasn’t impressed with precision - returned for refund.

Interesting thread. I have a CO2 art regulator and also have the issue of fine adjustment. It can also be very temperamental in that i can set a bubble rate which I'm happy with and when its turned off overnight via the solenoid, it comes back on at a very different rate!

Does it settle down after 10 mins to the normal rate?
Nope. Very annoying. At times i've set the rate to what i think on one day, come back the next and its either overdoing or barely bubbling at all! I now switch it off and on a few times over a few hours to confirm the rate before i leave it unattended

That is annoying - and worrying. I use a dual stage Strideways and its pretty solid.

Might be worth contacting CO2Art and seeing if they’ll help out at all.
It has a better needle valve for sure.

This usually mean you have a leak.
When I was using original needle valve I found that once it warms up from solenoid it releases more gas. Metal expansion from the heat?
Another thumbs up here for Strideways, pretty solid and the needle valve is superior
