So had a bit of a diving accident and lost all my gear and its time to buy some new stuff. I've been looking around a lot of used regulators and this is what I've found so far (just to note that I dont live in the US so its a little bit more difficult finding some used gear).
Apeks ds4 + xtx50, think I can easily get a hold of these. Most people seem to use them for stage tanks, wondering if anyone knows how they perform as sidemount regs?
Apeks dst + xtx50, Only managed to find one of these so far, I guess I could pair it with a ds4 but seems a little odd to use different first stages.
Poseidon 3960 + Jetstream, Seems like a solid reg choice for me, easy to service since I live in Sweden. Might be a little bit difficult to find a second set though.
Personally it doesnt feel worth it for me to buy new regs since most of the hold up quite well, I'll take them for a service and will most likely need new hoses with different lengths anyway.
For the BCD I've been thinking of either getting the Sms 100 or just buying a Diverite Transpac XT harness with Nomad buttplate and slap a wing on it. Its important that I can still dive singles since I work in diving. Gear also needs to be easy to travel with.
If anyone has any advice or experience with some of the equipment please let me know your thoughts, always so hard to choose.
