look at the VX4 and VX10 seconds closely versus apeks. i have the old apeks/beuchat seconds and the new beuchat seconds. for instance the exhaust T is the same piece exactly and other designs on it are just way too similar. i still say apeks is making them for beuchat. the adjustment for second stage seat is a hex key instead of a screwdriver slot. there are just tooooo many similarities. >From: "David M.
