Regulator = regulates air flow so its consistant, no velocity spikes.

Exp. Chamber = Lets CO2 expand before it gets into gun.

 

If you plan on sticking with CO2 then get the Exp. Chamber

If you want to get HPA, get a reg.

Good reg. = Bob Long Torpedo

Good Exp. Chamber = i don't know

A regulator regulates the air flow for nitrogen. Some regulators work for co2 such as the Palmer's stabilizer. An Expansion chamber helps Co2 to expand to prevent liquid from getting into your gun. A good X-chamber is a Dead On X-core. Basically, your best bet is a Palmer's Stabilizer. Get the Male version.

like bass said, your best bet would probly be the male palmer's stabilizer. the only problem is its $100

well if u r gonna spend 50, then get the exp chamber.. the xcore 8-stage is pretty nice, but if i were you, i would save for a Palmers Stabilizer, which acts like a regulator and a x chamber...
