I just did a search in the forum for info on specific warranties, but i didn't find what I'm looking for.

I got certified in 1995, but I never bought any regulators until nearly 30 years later, on New Year's Day of 2025. I looked up the Apeks warranty on their website today and found this:

"Apeks warrants to the original purchaser that the product will remain free from defects in material and workmanship throughout its useful life; provided that it receives normal use, proper care, and prescribed dealer service subject to those restrictions stated below. This warranty does not apply to units subjected to misuse, abuse, neglect, modification, or unauthorised service. This limited warranty is extended only to the original purchaser for products purchased directly from an authorised dealer, and is not transferable."

Are there any specific manufacturers who extend their warranty or Parts For Life to the second owner? Or who don't ask for proof of purchase? If so, which companies?

None, it's a very old BS marketing technique to throw a bone to the shop and keep them afloat with labor charges (which are never included in manufacturer parts for life "warranties").
