I am new to technical diving and completed my first tec course and wanted to set up a dedicated Deco bottle or two with MOD stickers. I dive COLD Freshwater and if I'm going to travel to salt water I am not bringing tanks.
Where I am typical banked Nitrox is 32% O2 and if I'm going to run a Deco Bottle it will either be 40% or 50% O2, because of my training limits and if I'm going to have a dedicated O2 clean reg to do the 50% or not.
But to my question. The preprinted MOD stickers come in 20/70/120/190 ft stickers. It is obvious to me that the 100% O2 is the 20ft and the 50% O2 is 70ft but the rest seem a little arbitrary? 120ft would be 34% is that really a common blend? 190 ft is 24% why would anyone pay for custom fills for 24%. I feel like there should either be more standard stickers for 110ft and 130ft also.
If I'm going to use the banked nitrox it is likely going to be back gas which does not get labels, but if I was going to put in a stage I would need a 130ft sticker or would you just put the 120 stickers on it? I am feeling, for now, I should only label the 40 or 50% pony.
