Any experiences with mini regulators?

[SomeGuyBrewing]

So I bought this Ball Lock beer faucet (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003Z ... UTF8&psc=1) and so far it works pretty great.

In an effort to make my tiny keg super portable, I've been trying to find a way to dispense without lugging around my CO2 tank.

Anyone have any experience/review/thoughts on something like these?

Are these a good option? Or is there something easier, cheaper, and just as portable that might work just as good if not better?

I use a picnic tap (the cheap plastic ones) and a small C02 cart. gun. Cheap and easy. Have not used the one you linked to.

Please keep this forum free of political discussions! Whether "mini" or "full-sized", opinions on regulators are very divisive. Should government be allowed to intervene in our lives to make us safer? One can go on and on (and PeOTUS) did, about whether regulators are good or bad. And should the term "mini" be used when referring to the "little people"? While certainly better than the term "midget regulators", the proper term would be "little person regulators".

What? He didn't mean altitude-challenged people in the government serving to make us safer? Oh!

@FIT - yeah I have a picnic tap as well and have used both. Both have advantages and disadvantages so in the future I'll likely just switch between the 2 for whatever works in the situation.
most the CO2 cartridge chargers I've seen run $15 to 20 with mixed reviews. Likely that will be my fall back should the one I order be a piece of garbage, LOL

@Rickbeer, I agree most of our Little Person politicians would hold issue with the "midget" moniker, I can't help but assume some would not only be OK with, but would in fact embrace "Mini". I think the two ("mini" and "little") are quite interchangeable. Running through situations that would call for either term, I can't really think of a situation where one or the other sounds particularly offensive or inappropriate. Then again, applying it to a person with feelings is a whole different ball game. Being 6'4", i cant accurately say how I would feel being called either. More research is clearly needed.

Heres what I ended up getting, 30 bucks ebay, waiting on my CO2 cartridges to test it still though
