Time 4 a new reg

[Paverdude]

Hi all I'm glad i found this informative forum

I'm planing on replacing my Conshelf XIV i purchased in the late 70's

and am having a hard time deciding on a new reg,
I'm considering: Aqua Lung Legend LX ACD Supreme
Aqua Lung Kronos Supreme
Apeks XTX Tungsten
Zeagle Z7

I dive in Canada with water temps around 40 f. to depths of 100ft.
and in Mexico water temp 75 to depths of 115ft.
I am also planing on taking the nitrox specialty this year.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Pav, which of those can you easily get serviced near where you are? that's a major consideration to take into account!

Sorry, I have no experience with those regs. But just wanted to add some food for thought!

Yes these 3 reg's are serviced at the 3 LDS's in town.

Thanks

I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. Not a fan of Aqualung mainly due to their online policies so getting parts and such on your own could be a PIA. Not sure about the Apeks other than the stellar reputation. Zeagle has terrific online support and policies as well as upgrade programs if you decide to move up in the future.

I'm a big atomic fan myself, but second to that I would always consider Zeagle....and Scott is on this forum here and is so resposive to everything its great.....Not a fan of Aqualung.

I was considering aqua lung because of my old reg i'm still using (30 yrs)

But after more resurch am droping them out of the running

I want a good reg that will last a log time and i will be able to use if i get into tec diving (that's a big IF)

[Paverdude]

the other question is will the Zeagle Z7 be out before i head south in early March

Don't know why you would want to replace your 14. But maybe I can help you with a down payment. Do you want to sell it? What you asking for it?

I'm not a big fan of Aqualung either. My preference for the ones that you listed, especially if you may be going the tech route, would be the Apeks. I personally am a big Scubapro fan and would be hard pressed to use anything else. If any of your LDS service Scubapro, I would check them out.

now to add fuel to the fire what about din vs A ?
and piston vs diaphragm

I like the idea of din for diving in Mexico (relying on my o ring not there's)
