Pardon the noob question.
I presently have an Apeks XTX40 second stage reg. It has happened a couple of times that the reg started to freeflow. A slight adjustment by my shop fixed the problem but it was a pain not being able to stop the flow during the dive and while on the boat before the next dive.
I have been told by others that I should have gotten the XTX50 as you can control the flow in case the reg freeflows. I have looked into the specs of both and it seems that the only real difference I can see between the two is that the XTX50 has a feature called "adjustable cracking control".
Is there really such a feature that allows one to make the adjustments to stop a reg from freeflowing and if yes is this the feature?
Hope any of you can help clarify this before I go and buy a new second stage.
