New Regs

I dive with cyklons and love em they do how ever breath different from
a normal ashaped reg, different is not wrong.

Sherwood!
Nice long primary hose - cheap servicing, very nice breathe.
You can have a play with my Sherwood and wing if you want too...
Hopefully I may not need them too much longer....

Apex regs just tend to work without trouble. I don't particularly like the breathe off them though, not very natural / smoothe (and this is all the ones i've tried over a long period of time).
Poseidons... well a friend of mine has Jetstreams, and although he likes them he won't teach anything involving AAS with them because the purge is so strong it generally scares the students! I've tried them a few times and just don't get on with them at all. To me, if you're scared to purge your own regulator that's not a good sign!
I actually went for Oceanic regs, which do breathe very nice, haven't had any problems in the 18 months or so that i've had them (apart from the compass broke on the gauge). Not got the long history like the Apex, but seem good to me. For twinsets though the DX4 first stage is a little long, and you might be better with the CDX5.
In reality, if I was buying them again i'd probably end up with 2 DS4 first stages, and 2 Oceanic (Gamma?) second stages - makes it very cheap, and get the nice format first stage of the Apex with the nice breathe of the Oceanic second.

Adrian,

I use 2 Apeks TX50/DS4 combinations.
