When I said "online" I didn't mean eBay or Craigslist. I meant legit scuba shops that are too far to get to for service
I should clarify further...there are lots of brick and mortar legit scuba shops that sell on eBay and online now.

if you are planning on spending $3000 for your wife's gear, any decent dive shop should be falling all over themselves to help to sort out your problem for free, including us.
We offer free lifetime service labor on any regulator bought new from us. So far, it has worked out well from both a customer and a store standpoint.

That was the plan but obviously this guy at this LDS doesn't seem to think im worth his time. My wife will need everything so by the time we get done with a computer regs and BC she will easily be $2500 or so. Apparently he missed that part.
Although after this im not sure ill be buying atomic
FYI, all of the atomic models can/will breathe exactly the same.

Also one other thing i noticed, The swivel becomes basically unusable when you pressurize the system.
When no air is present it swivels nicely but not with air present

are you talking about the 1st stage turret or 2nd stage reg swivel?
regardless, either one should move if you apply force.

Have not noticed the 1st stage given its on my back and the 2nd stage does move if you apply a reasonable amount of force but nothing like when its de pressurized.
When no air present it flops around all over nice and smooth. With air it barley moves unless you apply a reasonable amount of force.

@rscott9399 it's not designed to swivel that smoothly when pressurized. *should be a little less smooth than rotating the regulator on the hose fwiw
sounds like your LDS is a bit of a dick in that regard.
Are you mechanically inclined at all? You can learn to adjust and service these things yourself....
the video that I posted to before shows you how to adjust them. The tool is only like $25 if you want to make it faster/more accurate, and an IP gauge is like $15? You need an IP gauge anyway.
If you aren't happy and think something is truly wrong, then send them back to the dealer or call Atomic and work with them directly
