The psi regulator is rated from 0 to 160 psi. I will be using it as the primary regulator.

Just because the gauge reads from 0-160 doesn't mean that's the maximum inlet pressure that the regulator is rated for. It could be higher, or could be lower. A gauge is just a gauge. I could screw a gauge that reads 0-1000 psi into some crappy little regulator, that doesn't mean it's going to work.
And you're going to use this to regulate high pressure CO2 from a refillable paintball canister? Maybe I'm missing something here, but high pressure CO2 is in the neighborhood of 700-800 psi if I remember correctly.

EDIT: OOPS - PhlyanPan - You were addressing the OP. I agree, the package for the regulator I saw said; "Range: 0-160PSI "(MEANING TO ME: Prolly no good for CO2) I could care less about the gauge. In fact I would want one 0-30psi. I don't know how high of pressure paint ball gas tanks are when filled but I do know many are stamped with "1800 PSI MAX"

I have looked at the plastic spray bottles, walmart has 1 gallon bottles for about $20.

Oh my god man, you are still at this? You're going to end up with a $300 pile of useless parts by the time you realize you should be spending this time on Ebay and Craigshelper to find a used tank, reg, and four pack of cornies.

I'm almost there bobby, I just got an email back from the seller of the regulator, it's made for use with an air compressor....which only get up to a couple hundred psi. I definitely won't be using this for co2. So far the only money I've spent is $10 for a co2 tank and $8 for a universal valve to connect the tank to a regulator(both of which I would need anyway). The $10 I spent on the regulator will be refunded, as the seller has a 30 day no-questions-asked return policy. The $5 I spent on the 5 gallon water bottle gave me another carboy to use for brewing. I will admit I went into this not knowing nearly enough about what I was trying to do, but I still think I'll be able to get a working system going eventually. I appreciate everyone's help so far.

Look man, you obviously are trying to do things you don't fully think through with equipment you don't understand the operation of. I understand trying to do things differently and I really applaud your enthusiasm. But you're going to hurt yourself.
If I hadn't decided to check back up on this thread you'd have blown up that regulator and possibly caused serious harm to yourself or others. Take a step back, what is it that you don't like about the corny keg system? What are you trying to do better?
