flow meters

I just bought a everlast 140, primarily to use practicing tig. I would like affordable recommendations for a flow meter that will provide argon for the tig torch as well as a second output to use for purge or gas flow for the back of the weld. I am unemployed and have limited resources, hope I can find one for $100 or less.

This style flowmeter can be had for $10 or less on e-bay, and the fittings to build it are cheap.

You save money on argon, as well, by regulating your backpurge to the minimum required, WHEN required.
