Regulator Geeks 4: The Atomic TFX

[scubadada]

I love reading these threads. However, I'm perfectly happy with my MK25/S600, C370. I will not be upgrading, but am very happy to know what is out there, thank you very much. These are among the very best threads on SB. @rsingler is a treasure.

Nice, I want one, as soon as the second is available by itself.

You want two

Or

We want one

We could go thirds and share it for a bit

Fingers crossed Atomic makes the 2nd stages available soon, and then you can borrow mine, no problem...

I’d guess it will be a while if the supply of the complete TFX regs stays as tight as it seems to be. I’m sure they’d rather first sell as many of the more expensive full reg than just the 2nd stage (which will likely give folks sticker shock as well).

Back on topic: Watched Robs YouTube, fantastic, though I am a slow learner and will have to watch it again to 'take in' all [ I am dreaming, all , 50% and I will be happy] that info.

Just watched it. Wow! Great presentation! Can’t wait for Reg Geeks 5: the mysteries of Poseidon.

We'll talk endlessly about center balanced second stages, starting with the venerable Scubapro Pilot and finishing with the last regulator you'll ever need to buy: the Atomic TFX. You know the drill by now. We'll probably run overtime. And when you give up because it's getting too late? I'll post the link here later to a YouTube recording.

Cheers!

Loved the series. I have been using the 350/400 since the 90s with thousands of dives on them. All of my student rigs are Mk20or25/D400s.
I just added this very nice original Pilot to my collection today.
Gotta tune it and would love to talk to Rob about that. I probably have parts in a bin somewhere.
