Well I'm sure it's been covered, but can't seem to find it in a search.
Just bought an apexs ATX 200/ ATX 40 and the halcyon 22" and 7 ft hose.
I'm a pretty new diver and plan on taking DIR-F in the future, but want to start doing it right... now.
My questions....
1. the primary reg port on the apeks first stage has a larger port than the halcyon hose (larger diameter). I spoke to Extreme exposure and they say flip the fist stage upside down (the two ports on the left are both compatible). However this puts the hp ports going up and the inflator hose going down??
He said you can get an adapter, but it adds one more o-ring/joint and chance for failure.
What would be the correct way to handle this?
2. I have the backup reg coming from the port closest to my head and the long hose behind it, is this correct?
3. The hoses have a funny smell coming through them, I know it's not my air. Is this normal???
Thanks,
Tony.
