They came with my kegs from Kegco but I think they're limiting the beer's CO2 intake. I'm going to swap them out for traditional ones today to see if they make a difference.

I have been plagued by poor carbonation and I have tried everything else.

For what it's worth, here's what the old post looked like.

I put the new post on and the beer immediately went up the line out. I don't think there was a clog at all. Going to leave it for a couple days to see if it makes the difference.

I don't notice anything super out of the ordinary. The poppet does appear to be more depressed than usual (they usually sit flush with the top of the post) but if anything I would think that it would be more likely to flow normally in this state (rather than not pour properly). I'm glad the new post seems to be working at least!

Yeah, we'll see if that does the trick. Thanks again!
