The instructions are almost good. They fail to mention that In order to keep a steady bubble count using the needle valve, the pressure in the secondary stage should be above 20 lbs. (between 20 and 30 lbs. is fine). It takes a few hours until the pressure in the second stage holds steady, so you can initially set it to 30 lbs and it will slowly drop for a while and then remain constant above 20. As long as the second stage pressure is above 20, the needle valve will meter out a very precise and steady flow rate of CO2 - which is easy to adjust using the bubble counter.
Kudos to AquaCave for prompt shipping and excellent price.

Good budget regulator.

This is my first planted tank and Ive never used CO2 before. The directions were easy to follow, but the setup seems touchy - the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. It would be fine for a while and then slow to a stop. I finally did get it dialed in with the needle valve - contrary to what the Milwaukee instructions say, I found that starting with the needle valve closed, then opening the main control valve about half way and then slowly tweaking the needle valve is the best way, at least for me. What I really liked, though, was the fast shipping. I ordered at night and they had it shipped first thing the next day. The ability to pay with PayPal was nice too.
