The BIG Time Regulator Poll

[sharky001]

I have two Poseidon Cyklon 5000 Metals and one US Divers Arctic. All great regs for cold water. The Poseidons breathe beautifully at depth when set up properly. When I use doubles, I use the two Cyklons.

I love my Voit 50 Fathom, Trieste, and Titan II. The 50 Fathom is a single stage double hose regulator with gray hoses and mouthpiece. The Trieste is a balanced two stage double hose with an HP and an LP port for SPG and inflator/octopus. It's great to dive with the bubbles behind your head where they belong. The Titan II is a balanced two stage single hose with its own built in J-valve on the diaphragm first stage. My brother has a nice Voit MR-12. I want to get a Voit Dolphin. That's what James Bond used in the movie "Thunderball".

I bought this at a pawn shop twelve years ago. It had a $5 price tag and I asked if he would take $3.50. He said "OK" and my hands were trembling as I paid him. These are new hoses obtained from Vintage Scuba Supply. It is a lot of fun to dive with.

I have a ScubaPro reg and like it a lot. I plan on buying a twin reg when I go to doubles.

Got my Xtreams few weeks back and really like them. Breathes really nice, and the reg is really lightweight.
The only problem I have is that in my double configuration my backup reg's hose is quite nastily bent coming out of the first stage. It also shortens it by few inches which is a bit inconvenient.
Does anyone have any advice on this? I have Dive (the 5LP version) and 3LP L shaped Deep. I run my wing inflator from left first stage (on a very short hose) and dry suit from the right one.
Thanks,
