Anyone tried the Bism White Beans Reg?

Interesting swivel at the bottom of the regulator and the "stick" spg seems even more... interesting. Not precise but probably effective.

I live in Bangkok and a shop here swears the Bism White Beans regulator is fantastic but I cannot find any reviews on it and have never seen anyone actually ever using it on a dive. Anyone have info about it? I'm currently using Apeks XL4+ and MK25/S620TI

My fellow diver of mine uses Bism as regulator, quite a heavy price tag around here. (more than prominent brands, even).

While it breaths marginally nicer and all due to air outlet barrel being closer to the mouth, long term could be maintenance problems.

There's currently only one technician in Thailand (it's the distributor, of course) which will not sell service kit, nor provide technical training for dive center technicians. And they might charge extra or refuse to service if you don't buy from them (at least this info came from their dealers)

They keep it niche like this maybe beneficial for some groups of divers (and dealers) but they won't get my money, ever. The risk of finding parts, service kits, or technicain service themselves outweight any emotional feel for the brand.

True it's really interesting just be able to feel where your gas is at.

but at a price of a transmitter? maybe I'll take the transmitter.
