Air Venturi Avenge X stainless steel regulator

[Bocephus]

What is the advantage to a stainless regulator as opposed to a brass regulator?

I am buying a spare regulator to have as a backup for my Avenger . The Avenge X regulator is also compatible with the original Avenger. They are the same price, but the original brass one comes with a complete reseal kit.

Any real advantage to the stainless one?

Regulator issues were not unknown to the Avenger, that Air Venturi changed to a stainless-steel one in the Avenge-X would be sufficient reason for me. WM

There is a reason the brass one comes with a reseal kit. LOL

The issue that I’ve read about(and experienced) with the Avenger’s regulator is creep. The regulator creep is caused by the seat, not the material the reg is made of. It is easily corrected by polishing the seat.

I think I am just going to get a second brass reg.

I would probably get the stainless one even though I don’t believe for a second it also isn’t susceptible to creep. Just watch Rick utslers avenge x video.
