This is the part that I would like to hear more about. Looking at
marine-mosters.com's site, I see their product #SPNVIL: Precision Needle Valve
(Inline Version) $26. This inline version has a 1/8" barb to accept airline tubing
on each end.
I currently have Dave Gomberg's high pressure system, which has (from his web
site):
Tank->regulator->check valve->bubble counter->sintered glass diffuser
Can I slip in the needle valve in this lineup, and if so, where?
Much thanks.

PS: Actually, to provide full disclosure, I have a solenoid right after the
regulator, which would close in the event of a power failure. But just to be on
the safe side, I might want a needle valve too.
PSS: I would welcome any safety tips regarding CO2 systems and young children.
