    Which apeks regs for twinset

    Which Apeks regs are best for use on a twinset?
    I am not going to be doing any deep stuff yet, so I would like the option to be able to use nitrox if possible.
    Was originally thinking Posiedon but I am starting to sway towards Apeks now.
    Any reccomendations?

    Depends on your perception as to what is 'best', however, I use DS4's and ATX40's (with converter knobs from graham_hk).
    As a tight norvern tw@t they suit me down to the ground (sea floor)

    DS4's with ATX40s or 50's. XTX 2nd stages if you're feeling flush with money.

    Depends on your budget! DS4s with ATX 40 are the cheapest, but hose routing is OK, rather than great. All regs, other than the "dive centre package" ATX40s are now XTX. DSTs with the new hose on the end are also good. If you are feeling more flush, the XTX 200 or the Tec 3 has very nice hose routing for twinsets.

    Well done on your choice of Apeks over Poseidon - much better regs, simpler, better value and less to go wrong. How Poseidon got away with the different colours for different gas X-Tream bullshit is beyond me.

    I have more than a dozen Apeks (DS4, DST and ATX 200) and am delighted with them.

    What that man said. Don't pay more for the more expensive ones, the inner bits are almost identical. Save your cash, they breathe great.

    I sold my XTX200's (FSR first stages) and bought Tek3's. Tek3's are far better for routing IMHO.
    It said requires Windows XP or better......So I installed Linux!

    Im making the same decision, leaning towards the Apex as opposed to posidon. I still need a single tank travel option so have rulled out the Tec 3; but what I cant justify are the XTX200 FSR; I know they have an extra HP, but I cant see me ever using it.

    Simply, what advantage would the FSR give over DS4?

    Diving, mosting UK sea year round, with Red Sea + warmer water; but a little <3 deg / ice soon.

    Can the 1st stages be coverted for nitrox use without messing about with an M26 thread?
    I looked on the Apeks site and its a little vague.
