I'm curious to understand what makes the Atomic regs such smooth breathers. Is it an equal contribution from the 1st and 2nd stages?
I think I remember reading some posts where an Atomic 2nd was used as an octo with another reg (like Apeks) and still retained it's "oh so smooth" qualities. Did I dream this? If true, Is there any good reason not to use a Atomic octo with any high quality 1st? Can brands combine (if set to same IP pressure) even if one is a diaghram type and the other is piston?
Ok, so here's another scenerio- If you had 2 regs, say an Apeks TX50 or 200, and an atomic M1 and you put the M1 2nd on the Apeks would it breathe like an Apeks or an Atomic? Or, the reverse, if you put the Apeks 2nd on the Atomic 1st, would the Apeks breathe same, better or worse than when attached to it's own 1st stage? I know this is just academic but it's got me wondering...I figure at least some of you with multiple regs will have some thoughts on this. I'd love to hear them. Thanks!
