Halcyons new Halo (?)

Dig my fingernails around the edge harder.

Had a chance to see it up close and personal.

The Halo is the exact clone of G260 with a different cover. Not sure how they managed to screw the pooch on this one since G260 is one of the best looking 2nds out there.

The Aura looks like a clone of R195 with a comfort mouthpiece.

Why do they even sell the Aura? I thought GUE / DIR thinking now is that both second stages should be high-performance. Do they still prefer the back-up second stage to be non-balanced?

Someone will always buy because of the "H" logo. Know a couple of folks that are like that.

G250 not G260

Not an expert on G250 but the Halo looks closer to my G260 than G250. But then again, G250 and G260 are not that far off when it comes to appearance.

It's a G250V to be exact. Exactly the same save jam nut and purge button badged "H". Now with an ugly face plate. By no means an expert but pretty well versed having restored about 16 of them.

Then a G250V it is. LOL.

Speaking of it, did you get rid of all the G-series and Conshelf?

Got rid of all my Gs but kept the Con14 seconds paired with an FSR I unsealed. Went back to Apeks and picked up an M1 set, thought I'd give Atomic another go.

How can you give up your regulators? They are your babies.
