Question for users of doubles and/or large volume singles w/H Valve: How long is your bungied octo reg hoses - 22" or 24"? I use a 22" with an Aluminum 80 but not sure if its appropriate to go a couple of inches longer on the doubles and/or high volume singles w/H Valve verus the aluminum 80. Thanks in advance for the input.
 
Most people find that 22" works well for doubles. If you run your back-up from the Left post (most people do) and the port routing of your 1st stage is not a simple curve the extra couple of inches might be appropriate.
I find that when I use Scubapro 1st stages 22" is good, however with Apeks DS4 1st stages I prefer 24".....not easy to find 24" hoses but for a while Scubapro made hoses in 24" lengths.
