help with buying dry suit hose

[buff]

Why does Apeks make two different typs of dry suit connector i.e. Hansens(pig nose) and CEJN. Is there a difference in performance?

Where can I buy online a dry suit hose with CEJN connector?

Thanks
Mike

As I understand it the larger (CEJN) inflator is to allow faster drysuit inflation at depth. I am thinking of swapping mine for a seatec (Hansens?) one so it is compatible with my BC, I don't think the bigger bore is much of a benefit compared to the benefit of being able to use the same hoses. YMMV

There are quite a few suppliers in the UK, eg:

I agree.

Rapid inflation isn't a good thing, you really want the exhaust valve to at least dump as fast as the inflation rate. Easier to fine tune your bouyancy, too.
