I had the Bontrager air rush regulator which I liked. Doesn’t seem available many places anymore. Any recommendations for a good CO2 inflator?

I absolutely love this inflator.
https://ridepdw.com/...?variant=24673864833
The Portland Shiny object. Very tiny, compact, and most importantly, has a superbly easy controllable CO2 outflow by a CLEARLY marked dial. You really CAN dial in tiny amounts of CO2 to start the filling, stop it if needed, check your mounting, and then increase the fill rate as fast or slow as you'd like. Being able to go slow is particularly nice and you really can dial in EXACTLY rate you want.
I've tried other CO2 inflators, which work ok, but I never liked ones where you couldn't have precise control of the outflow (Genuine Innovations has a push-on one where the harder you push the faster the flow, hated it, but it is the smallest of them.)
Mine also doesn't rust (at least so far).

I was given one of these a few years ago and it sat in my drawer while I used my Silca one. Then my Silca one froze half open while inflating a tire twice in a row so it got binned and I used the shiny one with the control knob (linked above) - it’s amazing!
