The first stage is nice but the second stages is what I really want (for that micro). I wrote them to sell the 2nds seperate. Let's see if they agree.
Scubagaskets is now offering the regs separately.
Service manuals are finished.
Here's hoping PRC tariffs drop soon.
 
The diaphragm regs sure are a lot more money than the pistons.
I wish someone would clone the mk19evo, because I want to try a set but I'm cheap.

That's being truly extremely budget minded 😜

Still wondering what you meant by the following back in post #151:


a) HP seat that won't fail

@Zef , I was referring to the reports of sudden HP seat failure (often after high O2 exposure) that were never addressed openly by Apeks, but corroborated by @Tracy above.

It's my belief that the seat material in the Scubagaskets reg will not have that problem.

The poppet shape has not changed, and looks much like an Apeks poppet. It is still a flat-topped conical seat head on a solid shaft, mating to an internal volcano that is milled into the reg body.

Thanks....I guessed that was the case, but was not sure.

Interesting that 1st stages oriented towards tech divers typically have the flat-topped conical seat head poppet, where as recreation oriented 1st stages seem to trend towards the "T" style poppet....why is that?
