But what if your have never serviced a reg... But would like to get into it, and really want a kraken... And realize you have an impulse buying problem, so you probably gonna end up with one sooner or later, so should probably know how to make it work... Asking for a friend...
Tell your "friend" that servicing regulators is not rocket science, but it is regulator science. I have had zero formal training but have (almost) successfully rebuilt 30 regs to date. We won't talk about the few failures resulting in catastrophic gas loss at depth. I read up on every reg servicing tome I could find (Regulator Savvy, etc...), read all of the servicing manuals for my type reg in the VDH Manuals and Catalogs Section, watched a bunch of how-to videos on You Tube, studied the parts schematics available, and dove into it. Not hard, but does take common sense and a wee bit of mechanical know-how. My. 2psi. Good luck.
