do you guys know if i buy a used regulator online, whether on here or craigslist/ebay/fb, would it still be covered under warranty? Since i wont be the original owner, not sure if passes onto the new owner.

It depends on the specific brand, each company has different a different warranty.

I dont own ScubaPro regs so i have no idea but generally speaking - no one is writing your name and sending it off to the company records when you buy a reg, the warranty is based on the equipment so theoretically anyone can send a defective reg under warranty as long as they are in possession of it.
This how ever may not apply to all manufactures so it might be worth taking a detailed look in their "warranty" section which im sure you'll be able to find online.

The source usually has the most accurate information
ETA:
"If I buy a SCUBAPRO product in my country, do I have a lifetime warranty worldwide?
Only SCUBAPRO regulators and select fin models are covered by a lifetime worldwide warranty to the original owner, provided they have been purchased through an Authorized Dealer.
Regarding regulators, they must be serviced every 24 months or 100 dives (whichever comes first) by an Authorized Dealer, using original SCUBAPRO spare parts, in order to maintain the lifetime warranty."

So far as I recall -- unless things have radically changed -- regulator warranties cannot be transferred to second parties; equipment has to be purchased through an approved dealer; and any agreement only remains with that original purchaser . . .
Other than a serious defect, that may be taken care of if it effects all or most of a given regulator model, warrenty’s are useless, parts for life is more scam that useful but can work out if you dive a lot and don’t do your own service.
A ScubaBoard Staff Message...
Warranty only for original owner is pretty standard. I am not familiar with any exceptions.
But also, if there is ever a consumer recall issue, it is usually applied universally and not just for warranty holders.
