I've been diving Apeks regs for many years: TX-100s and DS-4s. As most will attest here...they are certainly great regs.
I need to get another reg, and was considering picking up a Zeagle Flathead VI/ZX. Does anyone have any experience with this reg and/or can you compare it to the TX-100 in terms of performance?
A fair question would be why would I want to change from the Apeks TX-100 (essentially the same reg). Well, I am not "changing" as I am not giving these up...but rather, I am adding to what I have.
The real "problem" I have is, I like to work on my own regs and I find it very hard to get Apek parts...Zeagle service parts are available to me. I have also found my Apeks TX-100 can *occasionally* breath a little wet if I find myself in certain attitudes...something it has done since I first got it. I have heard the newer Zeagle FH6/ZX does not (true?). Zeagle has also always treated me well (not that Apeks/Aqualung has not...but again, parts are a bit of an issue for me).
I would really appreciate hearing from others their thoughts/experiences/insights regarding Zeagle's Flathead 6/ZX and Apeks' TX-100.
Thank you very much!
