Hello has anyone used this set up ApeksTEK 3 REGULATOR SET would also like to know how you like it pros and cons and cost
 
LDS here in near Morehead, the price is 1400 for the complete set, meaning left and right post first stages, and 2 xtx 50's with 7ft long hose and 22 backup.
I wish I knew the price of the stages them selves.
Hope this helps.

If you don't care about the "free parts for life" you can get prices on non-TEK3 stuff at www.divetheabyss.com

IMO the TEK3 is a solution looking for a problem until the price comes way down.

From what I understand (given that I have not used them), it's going to probably not be ideal to swap regs between singles, left post, right post, stage uses and still get decent routing in each case.

If I was buying APEKS (and I have 4 APEKS 1st stages and 5 2nds), I would go (and have) DS4 and TX50 unless the TEK3 was the same price.
 
The hose routing comes out better than on the DS4, comparative with the FST but slightly more downwards. On alu's you wouldn't notice any difference. Neither on larger steels. But on slim steels like small double 7 liters it comes out really well.

You cannot swap them around without having them point outwards. However I see people doing that with their old FSR anyways, so you will still save the days diving if you have to.

I agree with the price though, and I think it will come down a bit after a while when they are not "news"...
