Braided low pressure and high pressure regulator hoses

[rhwestfall]

Both will rot from the inside and make Champaign bubbles when they get old.

Seems the braided exterior variants have been somewhat poor at giving the early warning (at least from my experiences).

YMMV

I like the braided hoses for everything, except the long hose around my neck.

I do the same thing, braided for everything but the long hose. I do use a 70° adapter off of my primary though, just for ergonomics (and non-cave I prefer a 5' "long" hose).

Not to hi-jack, but I am using a 5 footer as well. Does all I want for primary donate without needing to store the extra two feet anywhere. I like it a lot.

I have braided on all m hoses including the hp.

Regulator sets that are used for air travel are all braided (Miflex) and those that I use for road trips are the old fashioned, heavy, stiff, rubbery things. I change out hoses on a five year or on-condition, whichever occurs first. N

Where did you get the orange Deep6 regulator cover? I have these and have been told that they do not have covers in other colors:

DGX Custom - Deep Six DGX Regulator | Dive Gear Express®

Orange is directly from Deep6, and not the DGX variant. Not the same regulator...

correct. Everything pictured is deep 6 items not dgx. Scribble 1st, signature blue 2nd, x series orange second.

Oh. I thought I was buying a Deep6 regulator, not a DGX regulator.

 

[rhwestfall]

You did buy a Deep6 regulator, but not a Signature or X-Series. You bought a Deep6 DGX series. When they were released, it was discussed quite a bit that they were different. It is even discussed at the bottom of the page of the link you proveded.

What are the differences between the Deep Six DGX and Deep Six Signature regulators? | Dive Gear Express®
