Default Oxygen regulators, medical type

Dear Moshe..

The reason people are getting frustrated as it is not just your life you are risking but those on the ground and in the air with you. If you want to know about medical oxygen systems contact a medical supplier. You keep asking questions like you are going to try to build an aviation oxy system out of medical oxy system, stop it, that is incredibly, selfish and stupid. I have never insulted anyone on this group, but come on!

I had the proper oyx system and on one flight I noticed I was not making good decisions, was confused about what my computer was telling me and I ended up landing with full ballast without knowing until the ship felt heavy on roll out (could have had a nasty fatal stall as I did not fly faster for higher wing loading). Had kink in the plastic tubing. After that I started to fly with a oxymeter on my finger. Point being do not take chances with life support, period end of story! If you cannot figure this out, you should not be driving let alone flying. As I said earlier, if you do not want to spend the $400 it takes for an oxy system, stay below 12,500. But frankly I would have to question any of your judgement, due to your persistent line of questioning. How about asking if anyone has a used aerox system for sale instead?

Mark, please stop shouting. I am trying to learn how these systems are designed. Whether medical or aviation, their purpose is to convert a very high and non-constant pressure (in the cylinder) into a constant flow at low pressure (into your cannula or mask). Here is what I've garnered so far, which may or may not be correct, but give me facts not labels:
