Why the bungees on the wing?

 

[sulaiman]

why not ?

why not ?

If you dont need them,why bother with them ?

Very pretty regs by the way.

Well, Tek3 found it's market I see.

Personally, I wouldn't give extra money for single side ports version of DS4, but hey...

Nice setup, very flashy 1st stages, however I'd go with non bungied wing, hog harness and normal first stages that can be exchanged left/right or used for a single tank if needed, but that's just me.

No, you've confused that with looks.

Very nice setup, mine is very similar. Just wondering if those are the double bladder wings or single. That would have some barring on whether to keep the bungee or not. Let me know what you think about the Tek 3's after you get a few dives on them.

I thought the same thing, re: left/right but either first stage will work left or right its just a matter of which direction the environmental diaphragm faces (i.e. both facing the isolator for a nicer, symmetrical look like in the pictures above).

It looks like you could use one for a single tank but it would have to hose ports down instead of out to the side (diaphragm facing either up or down) like you'd normally do with other Apeks regs. Anyway, I think you'd agree this is all about selling regs for doubles rigs anyway, probably most people with a set of Tek3s would have at least a separate first stage for a singles rig.
