Helium Gas: What Regulator/Flowmeter/Flowtransmitter do you use?

Never worked with Helium before, and months before I need to do so I'm in the research phase. Currently, I'm getting wild results (but haven't called up Lincoln/Miller/Hobart/Baker Gas for their recommendation. Curious to learn what those in the community, use to measure/regulate their helium flow while working. And yes, "just eyeballin' it with a standard argon flowmeter" won't cut it as I practice working to WPS.

Thanks for your help and opinions on the matter!

That certainly is a brand/distributor - anything in particular that made you select them for a helium regulator over others?

They have multiple models so that I can have the resolution I need depending how much flow I desire. They are ideal for my custom-made gas mixers.

Thanks for that.
