Hi,

If I am going to store a regulator in a regulator bag for a few months, should I disassemble the hoses from the first stage?

Thanks
 
No I would not disassemble hoses, but if there are hose protectors- pull back and clean around brass contacts. I would not store in reg. bag , the hoses can wear faster from tight reshapinging. I would store regs loose in a gear bag.
 
try to leave the out of the bags for long term storage since the hoses can take memory, not really a problem for recreational setups, but with long hoses it can get rather irritating. Other than that just make sure they are fully dry before sticking them in storage. Keep them out of the garage! Ozone generated by vehicles and refrigerators like to eat the diaphragms
