I got one as well and have enjoyed my first experience with it. I got the pressure kit and spundling valve with it, so lots of fun things to do with it.
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

They are prone to getting the bottom assembly stripped. Make sure to use lots of keg lube and do not tighten more then enough to barely seal.

Also prone to leaks from any and all spots. Use keg lube on every gasket religiously. And be prepared to use teflon tape on the threads if use the caps.
