Will flutter at some >time with either "condom" but the blue one is the best. Shit canned my Posidion POS regs last month - Now have 4 Apeks ( 1 * TX100 3 * TX40 ) best thing I have done. As far as I can determine in water the TX40 and TX100 breathe exactly the same, the only advantage with the TX100 is that you can adjust it so that it emulates the cracking resistance of the Posidion, ( thats useful, now we just need to figure how to get em to free flow randomly ). Another advantage of the Apeks is the size of the feed hole into the HP hose - it is very very small. For a trial I removed the HP hose and let her rip - on a 12L tank the pressure drops 5 Bar / Min. With the Posidion it is more like 40-50 Bar, its going to give me more decision time should that HP hose let go. >Apeks Tx100: Nicer. Has small first stage and is sealed but the high flow >LP port is not an "off the shelf size" so rigging for DIR needs other bits. Apeks sell a plug - then just use the other standard port for the long hose, this hi flow stuff is for the birds. End result - don't think about it buy an Apeks. 2CC's worth. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
