Most favorite: Mares Abyss MR22. They last for a long time and they don't have useless features that break. Easy to service and adjust. Least favorite: Apeks. Any of them! I got 4 of them and the first stage fails between 6 to 12 months after purchase. One even had brass splinters under an O-Ring. Had to repair two last week. "Warrenty" on a regulator is useless. Any serviceman will claim ist was due to wearing parts that are not covered by warrenty.
Kirby Morgan Balanced 2nd stage SCUBA regulator for primary and secondary all day every day. Stages carry Poseidon Cyklon 5000s mainly for size and not being handed means I can put them left or right and route them directly without needing to reconfigure anything.
It should be reminded that Apeks Flight series regs are warm water only. Therefore they definitely don't do the same thing as the bigger ones. In our country water is never above 10C if you dive deeper than 15m.
Bugger mine aren't on here either, 35-40 year old barakuda here, first stage has 2 ports, 1 for the single regulator and 1 for the pressure gauge that's it. I get some right looks on the boats.
Wow I'm in at number 1 .apex's all the way for me. Still found the flex hoses on the apex were a bit chunky so I've changed mine to miflex and added a 1.2m second stage hose instead of the standard hose supplied
Woooohoooooo I’m in at #1.........oh wait, does that make me a follower of trends now? Woooooohoooooooo I’m a trendy guy too!! This day can’t get any better! 🤣🤣
Scubapro MK10+R109 and Poseidon Jetstreams, i don't know which one to take next time. :D BTW, could you once make a video comparing old/ish gear to modern? Which are the really useful new features, and what is marketing BS?
You will see the very rare Centropyge Debelius in many of our vidéos and newly found another rare one call Cirrhilabrus Sanguineus both seen only on deep dives
it was very interesting that 4 of the top 5 regulators you sell are in the mid-high to high range of regulators, I would have thought that mid-low range would be higher volume sellers. Do you find that it is truly the function buyers are looking for or just the vanity?
I guess if someone not commit to scuba diving they will just rent? When I bought my first gear set, my friend suggested me to directly buy the high quality ones , so that I don’t need to buy again after a few years.
Hi i am Gianni from Italy and i saw your videos about regulators...what do you think about MK2 Evo R195 and R095 octo? should i buy it? thank for the answer..
Is scubapro kinda the superior brand? I see tons of recommendations, I am thinking about scubapro gear, but they come with a premium price compared to something like mares in my country, are their equipment worth it? Does it build to last?
Mk25 A700 carbon black-tech is an amazing set up, I love mine. Extremely easy breathing reg
I’m jealous, I have the regular shiny version and also in DIN configuration
Yep I get my carbon one next week

I've been diving Mares Abyss for at least the last 25 years Solid Breathing!

One thing I like about scubapro is its lifetime warranty (if you have it regularly serviced). Thus, the expense is amortized over ... a lifetime!
Unfortunately that is only in the USA.
@@loreseeker3783 I did not know that.
The disappointment when your reg isnt on the list 😂
On no! What regs do you have?!
@@simplyscuba poseidon xstreams 🙈😂 so no worries im aware why theyre not the most sold regs. But for travel mk17evo and g260
@@simon1234567ful Funny, but the mk17 Evo / g260 is my first rig. Great for cold-water driving I heard, which led me to use it over the mk25.
i feel
Ahh, yessss.....😄
Oh perfect timing, I’ve just bought the apex xtx200 online last week, still waiting for it to arrive.

Baramat 2000 model
I use Atomic Aquatic both ST1 and T3
The T3 is pricy but it comes with 3 years service interval, which is for me is great!
Running Beuchat VR 200 soft touch regs... nice kit and cold rated... great for Melbourne.
my favourite is mk25 evo and a700 I am using it 2020 with recent service after damn lockdown. thanks!

APEKS XL4+ i love these light good looking
And man are they comfortable
I'm surprised not to see the Aqualung Legend. I thought it was a best seller. Maybe only in France...
Been diving on legends for a few years and absolutely love them
It is the law in France that all your gear must be aqualung!
@@casvanommeslaeghe fine by me I'm a bit of an Aqualung fan boy!
Aqualung Legends is all I ever used. I just purchased my second one this year..
Aqualung Legend are for true professionals, we have nothing else in the family ... six regulators LX without being French !
Scubapro MK10+R109 and Poseidon Jetstreams, i don't know which one to take next time. :D

That would be very interesting.
Apeks MTX (p) and MTXV, (s) both with first stages, replaced the hoses with rubber, 210cm long hose on the primary, 90° elbow on the secondary.
DS4 or DST + ATX40 and add the adjustment knob yourself. This gives you a very affordable and reliable regulator set.
XTX200 + XTX40 here 😎
I use the good old ATX40 and it does its job :)
Patdanbe - had an AC2 for 14 years, thinking of upgrading but it’s never let me down (yet)
My 300 dollar Alpha 8 reg is still going strong after 11 years
Should I choose A700 or S620 Ti 😊🙃??
Same question
Me too ! Please reply ?
No love for the G260?
Tecline V1 ice regulator.
I personally love the dive rite regs, but if anything I always have a diaphram first stage for my cold local waters.
Why did all of your scubapro stuff disappear from your site?
Why no love for the mk17?
You will see the very rare Centropyge Debelius in many of our vidéos and newly found another rare one call Cirrhilabrus Sanguineus both seen only on deep dives
Atomic is lifetime and only requires service every 2 years to maintain warranty.
I agree with you in the selection of regulators, I would not buy other brands.
it was very interesting that 4 of the top 5 regulators you sell are in the mid-high to high range of regulators, I would have thought that mid-low range would be higher volume sellers. Do you find that it is truly the function buyers are looking for or just the vanity?

I have all scubapro, mk25 a700 black for single, mk17 g260 for sidemount~
sherwood maximus between my son and i we have 11 of them
Scubapro!
Atomic B2
Hmmm speaking of regulators these are pretty sweet 😃😎
I do not want a ScubaPro even as a gift you can keep them all.
XTX200 AND XTX40
Didn’t see Mares or Atomic
