Tek3 Setup

[riisefrutti]

I`ve trying to find the optimal setup with my tek3`s and been searching for some inputs to "tune" my hose routing. Anyone here who wants to share pics of their setup?

Are you referring to hose routing?

I´m sorry. Yes, hose routing.

Thanks. I`m through the basics. Interested in different solutions to routing the tek3.

I guess the question would be what is wrong with your current hose routing that makes you want to change it?

Search for this thread; http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/regulators/366245-anyone-use-apeks-tek3-first-stage-doubles.html. Several pics of set ups. The Tek3 are some of the cleanest first stages to route.

Spg01: The reason why I´m tuning my routing is that I´m not entirely happy with my current routing - I have found my backup hose to be "short" when routed. And looking for alternate solutions for drysuit hose and spg.

My kit is in N FL and I won't be back for a week (GRRRHHHH) so I can't take a picture but I'll try to describe what I do. I had the same issue and my tech instructor had a suggestion that looks kind of funky out of the water but works really well. Basically, route the backup reg between the corrugated hose and the wing rather than behind the corrugated hose. That puts the backup reg hose closer to your neck. OK it looks kind of funny but less convoluted than I'm making it sound.

Thank you katepnatl. I´ll give it a try, it´s more like my current setup - So the changes are minimal.
