Atomic Z2 info needed please

[Roombaguy]

All,

This is a followup to my "new regs opinion" thread I started a few days ago. I had pretty much decided to stick with my Sherwood until i browsed an online classifieds ad web site here in Cayman.

A guy posted about 2 months ago the following:

=================
I have for sale a set of Atomic Z2 regs never used in Atomic branded regulator bag

He was asking 300US. Since it has been +-2months, I took a chance as offered 150$ and the guy said I can have them.

I think I may have landed a pretty good deal but wanted to check with the collective wisdom of this board! Thoughts?

Thanks again everyone for your input

The Atomic Z2x sells for around $500 new. You got a great deal! Get it checked-out before you dive, then have fun!!

Best wishes.

You stole them! Great deal. I dive a Z2 and it is a great regulator.

Its not a deal its a steal! I use the Z2 and its a phenomenal machine.Congrats!

I am a recent Atomic owner myself, and what a reg (it was a big upgrade, but whatever). Nice deal, you are going to really like this regulator, IMO.

Thanks everyone for the input. I just picked it up. To my amazement, it was a B2 which to my understanding is the next model up from the Z2. 150$ for 1st & second and they are brand new.

cant wait to go diving

Excellent...you just saved $615 over list - which is within 10% of retail through their dealers.

B2 Swivel First & Second Stage (Yoke Sealed / Black)
Item is available.
USD$ 765.00

You're really going to like the performance in any position at any depth. Both of mine have been the best regs I've owned.

That went from a good deal to a great one! Have fun with that great regulator!!

A B2 is a piece of junk! Get rid of it now or be real sorry. I need the parts for my Z2 so I'll give you $400, so you don't feel stiffed.
