Following up the thread about ScubaGaskets offering regulators I have decided to try one myself.
I have ordered the 2nd stage directly from Narwhal technology on Alibaba instead. This saved me a little bit for beer. Narwhal seems to be the manufacturer in China and SG only the middle man.
Ordering was easy just clicking in the app, and 2 weeks later I got it. No taxes were paid.
The regularor delivers on the promise:
All black body
Miflex black hose
Black hose threads
Plastic body
SS ring cover
SS internal mechanism
External micro adjust
Venturi control
Reusable ziptie
CE on the regulator
CE on the mouthpiece
Weight 230g
The quality looks top notch to me. The improvements in the materials used and external micro adjust + the low price = great deal by my standarts.
The regulator came adjusted to 1.6. Easily turned it to 1.2 and even lower. The external micro adjust is handy.
During the dive nothing special noted. Easy breathing. No freeflow. Didn't mind the weight.
Paid: 150$ including shipping.
Will order few more now.
