I live in Newfoundland, canada. So most of my diving is in water temps between 20 - 50 degrees F. So I bought what I was told was a very reliable cold water setup. A scuba pro A700 second stage, with a Mk17 first stage. Right from the very beginning, I've had the same issue. It dribbles out a little air in between breathes. I can dial down the adjustment a little, and the dribble stops. A few breathes later, and it starts again. Until eventually, it sticks and free flows. I should mention that this is only a cold water issue. It didn't happen while diving in Mexico.
The question I have is, my lds sent the regs back 3 times now. Every time it came back, it did the exact same thing. I thought it might have been me, so I had other ppl dive it, including the regulator tech at my Lds, and it did the same to him. It's still at SP now, and they can't find anything wrong with it. So my Lds has offered to replace it, but they're so pissed off with SP and their supplier, that they don't want me to get another SP. so, What do I go for? What is a comparable reg? I was thinking Apex. Maybe a XTX-200. What's a comparable reg in a comparable price range.
