Of course, the top manufacturer has thought about this "standard article" for paintball entry-level compressed air systems.
The wheel was not reinvented, but the name Dye stands for the highest quality on the paintball market, which also means that the Proto Reg differs from the standard offer from other manufacturers.
The big difference where quality and longevity shine is the quality of the Proto Regulator, which regulates the cylinder pressure of the HP system to the working pressure of your paintball marker.
The thread of the Proto Reg is nickel-plated, which makes it harder and protects it from wear when screwing it on and off. This nickel layer is also smoother than aluminum, for example, which means less friction and abrasion.
This means that the bottle can be gently opened and unscrewed again and again without damaging the thread of the compressed air bottle or even the connection of your paintball marker.
The interior of the Proto Regulator is of the best quality, very stable and, above all, surprisingly tight in contrast to the cheap competition, much to the delight of the buyer (and the seller).
I think if you have an HP system there is no need to replace your existing regulator with Proto's. However, if your reg is already crying out for renewal as a result of wear and tear, this upgrade is a good investment... believe me, the connection of your marker will thank you!
