Tech. Regs - josh b. - 11-10-2006
Hey guys, quick tech. question...what do you guys think about tech. regs? I like/have used the apeks xtx200 and really like 'em. I have also seen some zeagle regs that are supposed to be just as affective. Does anyone have any first hand experience on using them? Prefferably Zeagle regs.
I mostly deal with Apeks and Aqualung regs. at the shop so I have never gotten around to using/learning much about zeagle regs, even though we are a zeagle dealer. Any/all info. will help.
Thanks,
JOSH at GUDC

I used Apeks ATX-50/DST's and ATX-100/FST's for 5 years and switched over to Zeagle DSV's this past summer. They all breath about the same, I can't tell a major difference between any of them really. The Zeagles are supposed to have a more robust HP seat in the first stage than the Apeks. On the other hand I think the Apeks second stages feel a little more durable than the Zeagle seconds do. Not a big deal unless you beat the crap out of your gear. You can't go wrong with either one in my opinion.

Thanks, Lonnie right?
I think I might go with the zeagle, although my usual dive buddy likes the xtx200, I don't really like the push button for purging, seems like it could stick the older it gets. So I'll probably get the zeagle after my new drysuit
