Is the Aqualung Legend LX Supreme the best reg on the market, for me

[TheShark1]

The regulator that you can purchase now that most closely meets your needs is the AL Core Supreme (was the Titan LX).

Really? I was told that was just a cheaper version of the Legend..?

Mine are mostly Conshelf supreme XIV that are environmentally sealed.. With silicone fluid.. There is a update mod that makes them dry sealed..

Jim....

The Titan first stage enviro cap fits I believe or is that what you're talking about?

 

[buddhasummer]

Those DS4's only come in DIN, correct?

No, Yoke and DIn. "Most" current regs come in both.

That's good that there's an update mod that makes them dry sealed.. I've heard that Silicone crap is expensive as hell.

Silicone isn't, christolube is but both are messy.

Silicone isn't christolube is.

If you want to buy it new, from Apeks, it only comes in DIN. Check the website. I just double-checked after looking through our dealer catalog earlier today.

I use Astro lube XX pure silicone personal lube .... So I have some lube handy if needed...

And yes, The Titan end is what I think they change it to.. Never did one, But know guys that have... I don't mind the wet lube and It works for me...

Jim...

I mean. Guys. This Conshelf. It more or less turned into the Titan/Core. Right?

The Core is basically just a cheaper, crappier version of the Legend.

Maybe technology has surpassed the Conshelf? Have you ever tried diving a Legend without servicing it for 37 yrs?

The Conshelf XIV is a old school all metal regulator that is bullet proof and buying the surpreme makes a top noch ice diving set... Very easy to service... And parts will always be around.. The only down side is the conshelf 1st stage only has 3 low pressure ports.. I use a splitter off the BC inflation hose when ice diving in a dry-suit..

No, you are mistaken, both are readily available, it's the buyers choice. I've been buying and diving Apeks for over 10 years. Any Apeks dealer can get you either. I just bought 3 yoke DS4 two weeks ago.

The latest Conshelf has 4x 3/8 LP ports and 1x 7/16 HP. Earlier versions came in various combinations including 3/8 HP port and 1/2 LP port but I'm sure you already knew that.
