Do I really need a regulator and a flow meter for a nitrogen tank?

[gracefulexit]

I have the nitrogen tank but can't afford the regulator etc. So I was wondering is it possible to guess the flow?

You will need a regulator as the pressure in the tank would be too much if simply using an exit bag

You can get regulators somewhat cheap on Ebay but I couldn't say what the quality of them are. Probably not great, but they'd only have to work once. I bought 2 regulators (for helium tanks, not sure the difference between helium tanks and nitrogen tanks, if any). You can unscrew the nozzle that blows the balloons up to attach the tubing. I was going to CTB months ago this way but I decided on a different method.

I don't know about anywhere else, but in the US you can rent regulars too.

Ugh, that sucks. I just feel like turning the damn tank on and filling the bag.

OK thanks. I am in the Pos US.

Pos is right. Oh, & I meant regulators in the last sentence. Dunno where the hell regulars came from.

HaHA, I Knew what you meant. You must be in the US too...?

Not using a regulator is just a recipe for disaster trust me. Plus how are you going to connect the hose to the tank without a regulator?

Yeah I'm in the South eastern US aka Hell.
