I’m pretty sure this is a non-issue but thought I’d ask: does a DIN/Yoke adapter need to match the material of a first stage?
The only reason I ask is that I’m considering a used Atomic setup, which happens to be DIN. My usual dive group are all Yoke - so dive operators, etc will all be set up that way. I did a quick search and noticed that Atomic makes separate adapters for each of their first stage materials (titanium, zinc, etc.) Do people really pay hundreds of dollars over a generic adapter just so the wheel matches the branding on their second stage?
The only other reason I could imagine would be to avoid galvanic corrosion or something but that seems remote. After all, the tanks themselves are presumably steel or aluminum.
