eBay Atomic Yoke to DIN conversion kit - Titanium $150

[TMurrr]

I just saw these pop up on eBay

Anyone have any strong opinions one way or another on what appears to be a compatible titanium yoke to din conversion kit for $150 (silver - T3) and $200 (anodized - T25)?

I wonder about alloy quality and if its an exact fit or not...

Zero feedback. Always exciting especially from China.

Looks kinda fishy

Honestly, and besides the alloy matching (if it’s even TI); the surface finish in some of the pictures looks very „textured“
I’d be more concerned with tolerance for a good seal

Do you need Ti? The Brass Yoke -> DIN kit from Atomic MSRP is $150, dealer cost is probaboy a little more than half of that, and you know it'll fit. Stainless is $230 MSRP. Perhaps if your dealer is looking to bulk up their spend/order with Atomic/Huish they might cut you a break off of MSRP, and you end up what you know will fit.

Need is a strong word, like is more appropriate - prefer not to mix metals with 1st stages

Good idea on the Atomic dealer bulk - I'm not that close with my local atomic dealers - if anyone has any leads feel free to shoot me a PM

I pulled the trigger on a killer deal on a T2X 1st / 2nd but its yoke... I like having the ability to switch back and forth, DIN locally and yoke on vacation. Its a spare reg so really more of a "nice to have"

Call John at Northeast Scuba Supply - he seems to be an Atomic dealer - doesn't have the conversion kits listed on his site, but says he sells them (and is perfectly happy to let you instal it...)

Edit: They're listed - $139 for the Brass kit.

If you plan to regularly switch it back and forth might be (slightly) alright to mix metals

But still risky to leave steel or brass onto Ti, and galling is a serious risk

Are you going to buy a Chinese copy of a part for a premium US-made TITANIUM regulator??? Am I getting this right?

Just buy the real thing locally and be happy, feeling safe and secure...

(This is like buying a Rolls Royce and then buying a spare tire knock-offs from China)

FIFY

Honestly, I’d play the Chinese roulette (out of intrigue) if the part was at 500 and the knockoff was 50

300osh for the original vs 150+shipping aint worth the experiment
