I bought a few of them last year. The earlier ones had a 300 bar DIN connector
while the newer ones came with a 232 bar DIN. I had 6 units, and only 1 of them
did not leak from the threads where the DIN screws into the body (not the tank).
I had to replace a brass washer in all of them with a teflon washer to stop the
leak. The overpressure ports rusted shut after about 9 months, and they never
delivered Argon very smoothly. They rattled quite a bit when they wre flowing.
I think OMS does not recommend them for use with Argon, so look at their
literature.

I dumped the OMS and went with a Scubapro MK2 with an overpressure port.
