DGX D6 reg

[Rusty Shackleford]

This thread got me comparing and thinking so I took side by sides of other regulators. From left to right is the DGX D6 regulator (my O2 reg), a Scubapro S360, a D6 Signature, and a Cressi XS. In this picture all regulators have the same exact comfobite mouthpiece so no difference in mouthpieces.

I have been using the DGX D6 reg for about a month as my O2 regulator and did not notice anything odd about it in the water. After reading this thread and comparing all I can feel what the OP is talking about. The exhaust ports on the DGX D6 are much larger than the other regulators I have. The one with the next largest exhaust port size is the SP S360, but even that was is a lot smaller.

In my case the DGX D6 exhaust port is not too big. On land I can feel it on my chin, but it does not force the regulator up in any way. In water the slight positive buoyancy of 2nd stage results in the regulator not touching my chin at all.

The last sentence makes my original point. Gravity will have to overcome the regs buoyancy.

Not to mention, you will rarely be perfectly vertical like on land.

The new one has the Comfo-bite? Definitely looks like some more room between the mouthpiece and exhaust.

the new one is a different reg. Extra vs d6. plus the g260 as my main

my chin must jut out just enough with the d6 that it pushes the mouthpiece up at an angle and makes it uncomfortable.
