Pony Bottle

[Dnaber]

Easy question, Yoke or Din for a pony bottle? I just aquired a 30cf bottle and it has an older yoke. I'm just starting to get the equipment to set it up to sling. But was wondering if I should also convert to Din.

that question is answered by the reg you have to put on it.....

+1!

On my personal bottles, I use DIN but wouldn't have any issue using a yoke reg on a pony.

If you're looking to purchase a new reg, I'd get a DIN one and replace the valve with a convertible "pro" valve.

That...and with din you don't have another black twisty knob that looks like a valve handle.

All the above. If it is an option, my choice is din.

Pro valve. Do both. Good for fills, good for rental regs. Cover both your bases.

Preference would be DIN, but I dived my pony with a yoke for a couple of year before I got a DIN regulator to fit it, then just took th insert out because it was already a convertible type.

DIN does one thing better, seals reg to cylinder. On a rec dive, you can surface while loosing gas at that connection. On a teck/Deco dive you may need the gas and can justify a swap.

I wouldn't spend a lot of money to upgrade the set to DIN, but definitely go DIN if you can. I recently converted all my regs to DIN including my pony reg.

What could possibly happen?
