Has anyone used the Hog regulators? There are a couple of sites that have really good pricing on them today, but I can't find any references to anyone that has actually used them.

Carrie, if you have the cash buy one if you need it. I got two to replace my current doubles set up. Nothing wrong with the one I have but this is too good of a deal for coldwater regs. I'll be converting my current setups back to recreational for travel and student use. And at 154 bucks(minus hose) ya can't go wrong. Consider them an investment.
OP
I was thinking about a set for a deco bottle.

Looks like Joel is using the same manufacturer as Dive Rite and is badging them as HOG. I could be wrong.....
If so, they are good stuff...

I asked the same question. Not a lot of people have used them, but the ones I found how had liked them. I picked up two first stages and two second stages. I expect that they'll perform just fine for recreational diving (I'll be holding off on using one of the first stages until I can really form an opinion....and if I decide it's not good for deeper diving, then I'll figure out what to do at that point).
Looking forward to trying them out

They are fully capable of technical diving, did you see the performance chart from the antsi testing? (http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/edge-gear/309166-hog-bal-second-hog-d1-antsi-results.html)
MANY regs can't hit those numbers and they are selling at three times the retail of my HOGS....
There is NO dive I wouldn't feel comfortable using them on

I did see that....but honestly, I don't really even know what it means
Maybe you can tell me, since I seem to be getting mixed answers....how is the hose routing for doubles? Do they route nicely or are there going to be any sharp bends?
I'm sure there will be absolutely no issue diving them on a single rig (that said, I will be taking them out with a trusted buddy always!), but I'm still deciding on whether I want to use them for my doubles set-up.
It was an absolutely killer price and I'm really looking forward to trying them out. Can't wait till they make it to my door!
