(Genuinely) new Apeks regulator - EVX/Tungsten

[Taipan]

Anyone got these or found them in the wild yet?

I've asked my dealer to order a set, but no response yet.

My EVX just arrived at the shop!
More info in a couple weeks after I've taken it apart.

One dive store here in Australia has it listed but has it as ETA Arriving July 2025

I wouldn't mind getting my hands on a couple of the second stages. The first stage looks just like an MTX with the added complication of the ACD thingy...

Totally couldn’t understand the words but somehow knew exactly what he was saying

Had a chance to test the second stage and disassemble. Will try to post in a week or two. Have only intermittent internet right now.

It's fairly impressive, notwithstanding the plastic bits.

I've just received a pair to set up for side-mount diving. I need to change one of the second stages to left-hand. It's easy with the XTX, but I can't seem to get the barrel out. I've been pushing it, but it won't budge. I'm worried I'm missing something, so I'm avoiding using a sledge hammer. Do you have any ideas? Is it just the new locator (that stops rotation) is very tight and I need to be a bit more brutal?

I found a YouTube from Mikes Dive Store with an exploded diagram (). You go from the knob end. But now I've got to a big nut that doesn't want to undo. Again, I'm wary of too much brutality.
