Today's Welding time!

/ Today's Welding time! #61  
Recently put on one of those inexpensive 'fancy' flow meters on my C25 tank. Apparently I forgot to shut off the gas at the tank after my last use, because I lost a bunch of gas. Wondering if flow meters are more prone to leak than the typical dual dials with pressure behind them?

I'd suspect it's more likely to be the solenoid valve in the machine than the regulator. I have a pair of similar inexpensive ebay flowmeters on my Miller 250 and Hobart Tigwave, the Miller will bleed down but the Hobart will still show tank pressure days later.
