Bought 2 new apeks dts. Other one seems to leak a bit, only seen when opening valve and closing it. Takes about 1 min to leak 10 bars. Changed pressure meters, 2nd stages, but still leaks. Also IP creeps from 8-> over 10 bars in 2-3minutes if just left alone. When submerged hard to see small bubbles near turret coming out. So I got lemon? Should I try to fix it myself (I got the equipment) or send back (different country I bought from)

I would rebuild it as long as I have a spare kit available, but I also service my own regularly. Inspect it for a manufacturing defect during the rebuild and then return if actually defective
Wouldn't that void the warranty?

OP is from finland, no parts for life warranty to worry about. the defect warranty is unlikely to be voided as eu has right to repair in several (and why you can buy the service kits openly). lastly, good luck proving someone has opened their reg if they have the tools to service it following the manufacturer SOP. regs don't come with tamper seals like iphones.
