Info 1st stage failure Apeks DST

[Vieques Arnaud]

There was a thread here: Apeks HP Seat failure: rumor or fact?

The old blue service kits seem to have the issue. The rumor is the newer service kits in the white packaging do not have this issue. Apeks never officially acknowledged there was an issue and seemed to quietly fix it.

I'm using third-party Apeks HP seats and I seem to be ok but I've had ~2-3 premature HP seat failures on brand Apeks DS4s/Tek3s just out of the box with very little dives and no flooding.
