S620Ti

[Geo7]

From a servicing point of view it is nice to work on. It is definitely an improvement over the later S-series, as in it is easier to break down, re-assemble, and tune. So far, everyone whom I know that dives the S620Ti really like it.

Exactly, this reg is quickly taken apart, cleaned, and re-tuned. That's because it has a long barrel like the G250, and the adjusting knob is held in by a pin. We wrote about the internals here. I have since replaced the splined jam nut on mine with the titanium nut with flats that is a part from the S620-X-ti, so it can be serviced without special tools in the field.

Breathing wise I would say it is similar to Atomic, but thanks to the adjustable VIVA vane it has a bit stronger venturi when fully opened. Also the adjusting knob has a very wide range for the cracking pressure. I set mine so it leaks fully open and acts as a seat saver, and yet it closes the reg down so tight it can't freeflow when used as a backup and jumping off a boat etc.

Congrats Scubapro, this one is really well done (My first stages are still Atomic T1s though). Hard to recommend such an expensive reg, but I do love it.

It’s a fine reg and comes with some, as already mentioned, nice improvements over the old S series but unless a great deal is found I would prefer a G260.

Just curious what you like about the G260 better? I found a good deal on a used set that came with a Mk25 evo, S620Ti, and G260. I’ve been trying to find a difference between the two but so far I haven’t noticed much of a difference. Admittedly I’m very new and don’t have a ton of experience hence curious what you found you liked more.

I have a G260 with a S620T as an octo. Cannot tell the difference between the two. Both are like silk.

Another comparison I understand. Thank you. That's good to hear.

I'd say the G260 is more robust. But I'll let Lex answer your question.

You can find them much cheaper, breath as well, similar construction plus the 260 is reversible.

And cheaper

And adjustment knob is metal.

I like titanium but in reality it's meaningless to me given I'm fastidious when it comes to post dive care.
