I just picked up the Epic/HOG kit from DRIS ($165 BF sale!) looks good and will be for travel. I am assuming that is the "Edge Epic V2" as mentioned above? I heard it was the same as the d2 as well? I'm taking it to the Red Sea then Komodo so we will see....

I also got the BF special from DRIS. Amazing deal! I am very impressed with the Edge first stage (haven't gotten to dive it yet, but if it is anything like the D1, it will be great). I will be using the Edge 1st stage on my back gas and my D1 on a pony. If I ever go doubles, I will get another D1 and those will go to the back gas since they have the 5th port. So far I have been really impressed with all the HOG/Edge stuff I have (D1 cold 1st stage, Edge Epic cold 1st stage in DIN, three D1 2nd stages, SS STA, 2.5" SPG). I have a HOG SS Backplate on order as well. Your prices are great all year! But, nobody does Black Friday like HOG/Edge!!! If I didn't want DIN, I would have no issues going with the Edge reg set in Yoke. It feels no less substantial than the D1, which is very solid. I have never held the Edge 2nd stages, so I can't comment on those.
Sorry for the fingerprints on the pics. Both regs are coldwater versions.

How about one from the manufacturer? Which Cerich is offering to all of us come the first part of next year. Having a manufacturer supply us what we need for their products to work in many situations is awesome. If you need one sooner I would recommend you contact Dive Right In Scuba and ask for advice.

I'm thinking tzetzo may be asking about parts to make an "internal" conversion (what I called "native" yoke) to a HOG DIN reg? I initially misunderstood and thought that type of kit was going to be offered, but it was clarified to me in post #26 in this thread that it will be a spin-on adapter.

You are correct Blue Spark. That is exactly what I meant.
What I'm interested in is a conversion kit that will make the D1 yoke without using the spin-on adapter.
Peter_C, you can clearly see that on post# 25 cerich explicitly says that these type of kits will not be offered, only a spin-on adapter.
And hence, that's why I asked if you could point me towards the parts that could be used to do that type of "internal" (as Blue Spark calls it) conversion.
It's a bit confusing since in one post cerich is saying that he'll bring in some complete yoke kits, and in another he's saying that he wont, just a spin-on adapter.
I think that he's using the word kit and adapter interchangeably. I could be wrong though!

Well then I misunderstood Cerich, as I was hoping for a manufacturers solution 
At least there is a way to make it yoke outside the manufacturer. I suppose for traveling I could always rig us up both my MK25's as yokes since I do have two yoke "kits" and leave the HOG 1st stage behind. Hmm..that is a viable option that would cost nothing. I have to swap hoses all over the place anyhow since I always dive double regs. They are both also tested/used routinely, since the last thing I would want is a reg that hasn't been used in a long time being taken on vacation.

there will be, i should have typed without the spin on adapter. i will bring in the yoke, yoke retainer, yoke filter and filter retainer and yoke nut as a kit for people to pull the entire DIN fitting out and replace with a YOKE assembly.
