Closed Updated G250 "wolf"

[buddhasummer]

As per title.

One updated G250. I bought it reasonably cheap, around $60, was listed as "junk" but then they all are. Get it, pulled it apart and discovered all internals had been removed. I was pissed.

Anyway, it now has new orifice, new curly feet lever and new spring. I've updated it to S-wing poppet. New flow vane C clip. Cracking nicely at 1.1". New scubapro mouthpiece.

Cosmetically I'd give it 6.5/10, it's not to bad but is scuffed a bit. There is no corrosion on metal parts.

I'd like ¥17,200 ($125 approx). Shipping flat rate ¥2750 ($20 approx) expedited and tracked but not insured.

I only accept PayPal in Japanese yen sent as "Gift" "Family and Friends".

Thanks for looking.

a legendary regulator.....

By the way, this is the last as even if I wanted/ bought on a whim I no longer have any levers, springs, poppets or orifices and I won't be buying anymore. However seats and O rings I have plenty of if anyone needs converted 109/156/G250/V kits, can also make up G260 kits as I have plenty of flow switches and case pins.

Will include free service kit.

....I've updated it to S-wing poppet.

I understand the item is sold and closed.

But I wanted to ask a question. I'm not a reg tech and have seen several mentions recently about the S-wing poppet. I know it delivers air in the 2nd stage. In your opinion >>>>

*) How is an S-wing better from a performance aspect (cracking/volume/flow) than a "normal " poppet?
*) With normal use, would an S-Wing have 'double/triple' the life span as a normal poppet ?

I'm just trying to learn something new about regulators.

1. It is just a refinement in the flow path.

2 There is nothing that has to do with lifespan.

 

[rhwestfall]

Basically, the reason it was updated is that the old poppet is no longer available. It was an "old" reg, sitting around un-serviced...

 

[rhwestfall]

Pre-S-wing, the poppet was replaced in its entirety at service. The s-wing has a replaceable soft seat.

I have nothing else to add, it's all been said above.
