Apeks

[El Orans]

I've used a SeaCure mouthpiece on my Apeks ATX-50 regulator for a few years now.

Yet the website claims they cannot be used?

Strange. I've been using ComfoBite mouthpieces on my Apeks regs for five years, going back to the TX50s. And I'm almost positive that ComfoBite mouthpieces are made by Aqualung, in fact I'm sure they are interchangable between Aqualung and Apeks.

So I don't know why you couldn't use the SeaCure sized for Aqualung regs?

Which Apeks second is that exactly? The ATX50?

El,
We did some testing with SeaCure on an Apeks reg and found that the design of the Apeks neck prevents a full seating of the SeaCure mouthpiece. Therefore, we don't recommend their use.

Well El Orans, you're gonna die. Better from that though than your zip-tied bolt snap!

I'm not that worried about it coming undone.

It was a very tight fit so I had to heat the SeaCure to get it on the neck. It's unlikely to come off any time soon...

actually mine came off twice already..

which size should we NOT be using if we wanted to get one for our apeks xtx 50s. I like living dangerously!

Yes I asked this question of Seacure last week and this was their reply

"I am afraid that we do not recommend using a SeaCure on an Apeks. They have a little stopper or catch in the neck where the mouthpiece goes on that seems to prevent a SeaCure from seating properly."

Which I must say I thought strange given I swapped out the Apeks mouthpiece (slimey) with Aqualung Comfos without issue.
