: Q: Is it worth getting a Palmer stabilizer for a 98 or is it more practical to get an expansion chamber. : A: It is absolutely not worth purchasing an expansion chamber, ever. They are a great way for paintball equipment manufacturers to make money, but they are not a very good way to upgrade your marker. It comes down to whether you can afford the Palmers stabilizer. If not, there are a few other acceptable regulators. If you can't afford the Palmers stabilizer, you could get a PMI Pure Energy regulator, they retail for 50 dollars in most stores I have seen. You would get far more advantages from a regulator than from an expansion chamber. Another option is to look on Ebay for a used WGP regulator. Often Autococker owners will remove the regulator that came with their autococker and sell it for cheap (30 dollars is a good price) on Ebay. These regulators work well with CO2. : Q: Also what is the difference between a stabilizer and a regulator? : A: There is no difference. Palmers calls their regulator a Stabilizer to emphasize how stable it is. It's a marketing thing. However, the Palmers regulator IS more durable and consistent, when used with CO2, than most regulators, due almost 100% to the fact that it happens to tolerate liquid CO2 better than most. : I would sum it up thusly: If you can afford it, get the Palmers stabilizer. You will love it. If you can't afford it, get either the PMI Pure Energy and don't pay more than 50 dollars for it, or look on Ebay for a WGP regulator. I have tried a lot of expansion chambers and regulators and believe me, this is good advice. But remember that all this advice only applies if you are using CO2, which you are right?
