Mverick once bubbled...
Well for one thing. I could really care less if you believe me.
And for another. On the one thing I bought from him. He didn't back up.
That makes you one *alleged* person that I am aware of who is in any way unsatisfied with the service or parts received from OxyCheq. I been through them all, and Patrick stands out from the crowd as an honest man.
I bought 2 O2 analyzers from him. On had a bad display. He told me for $15 plus shipping he'd send me another one.
Why was the display bad? Did you bake it with a soldering iron?
Gee, Thanks.... I bought it where he does. For $10. And got one of those junky meters he sells for free.
If I broke it. I would understand having to buy another. I didn't. It was bad from the get go. So if he's so good at backing his stuff up why didn't he send another display for free to replace the bad one????
Again, you are the only person I have ever heard from that had anything but good relations and vibes from Patrick.
Now, he's selling $1400 computers that I'd like to have. But if it craps out I don't want to argue about the $1400. It's easier not to buy it.
Then dont buy one; no one has a gun in your ear.
You want to get pissy over a miserable $15 display that you probably baked with a soldering iron; Patrick is probably better off not having you for a customer.
It's kinda hard to screw up making a wing though. They ain't rocket science.
Which is why you are building one, right?
No they sure arent, but there are a good number of improvements that were made after not only selling and diving the others, but also having enough time in them to identify the shortcomings.
How much time have you got in the gear you are attacking?
ZERO.
If he makes the wing as good or better then a Halcyon AND cheaper. Great. But it doesn't need to be able to deflect a 50BMG round. Just stop things like sticks.
Hyperbole. No one is making anything to stop .50 BMG rounds; we are just making a product that is more reliable, and better thought out.
But you all are talking more smack about his wing then you say Halcyon does about theres.
Opinion, and you have no experience with OxyCheq to back your assertions. Have you dove an OxyCheq wing?
No, you havent, so what do you have to say about anything?
Dude, it's just a wing. And so is the Halcyon.
And the OxyCheq wing is a better mousetrap. If you had actually dove one, you would know; but since you havent, you dont. You have an agenda and you are using it as a podium to slam something you know nothing about, which reflects on you, not Patrick or OxyCheq.
No rods in the single means he's limiting his market. The Pioneer will use a STA or not. His doesn't have that option.
This is such old, tired bull**** that it isnt even funny. The Halcyon wing with the rods (I did the Patent drawings for that system) is nothing more or less than a way to reduce costs and increase profits. PERIOD. They spent the first years hanging a bull**** anodized aluminum channel iron, herky chunk of **** on everyone, that several people, including myself, made better and less corrosive ways to deal with the simple issue. They spent that time replacing corroded crap mounts and the wings the mounts ruined.
Our low profile STA mounts the tank exactly .090" higher than the STA-less baloney, and is 100% more stable, easier to change bottles on to boot. Ever tried one? Then once again, you dont know what you are bashing or why.
You might not like diving without the STA. I do. As do others. He's limiting his market.
He is limiting nothing. If anyone has limited their market it is Halcyon. You talk **** about Patrick dissing Halcyon gear at the show, and I am calling you full of ****. Patrick explained the differences between his wing and the Pioneer, nothing more or less. People like you take anything that isnt complimentary or kissing Halcyon ass as some kind of dirt, when the biggest ****-slinger in the SCUBA world is Halcyon!
For Duals I use a OMS. That never had bunjees and never will. That's how it came. It was a good price. But I don't like the corrogated hose in the side. Rather have it in the dead center of the horseshoe like Oxycheq and Halcyon. Other then that. I'd have no problem with it.
Dive an OxyCheq wing and you'll understand why people are excited about it. Until then, do us all a favor and stow your
And yes. At the show all he could talk about was how he only carried the BEST gear. Because he wasn't set up to be able financially to handle returns.
Pure
So if it had problems he wouldn't carry it. All the while I'm remembering," this is the guy who hit me up for another $18 for a part he sent me that was bad to start with".
Yea, I'll buy a $1400 computer from you. You just told me you weren't financially able to handle returns...
And I don't want Molded high dollar spools. That's stupid. If they are molded they shouldn't be any more then $5. And thats high.
Ever buy a mold? Ever design a mold? Ever talk to an engineer about building a mold? Ever dive one or compare it to a machined spool? Do you have the smallest clue as to what is involved in designing, building and paying for a mold?
Didnt think so. Which means you have less than no idea how much it costs to bring a molded part to market. You dont like it, dont buy one, but until you have a clue,.
Milled Delrin has alot more machine time in it. That's why they cost more. They are also tougher then Molded ABS.
