So Capn Tucker hooked me up with a MR12-II regulator to rebuild and keep, with an MR-12 second stage as an octo. So last night, beer in hand, I rebuild the first stage and both second stages. I really hate to say this, because it is Voit and all, but I really feel like this MR12-II breathes easier and has a better venturi than any other SCUBA regulator I own, modern or vintage. I would say that if you could only buy on regulator, this one should be it. It has officially supplanted the conshelf XIV as the one regulator that I would bring with me on a dive trip if I could only bring one. It has the strongest venturi effect that I have ever seen in a single hose regulator. I can actually make it freeflow just sitting here if I draw a fast enough breathe on it. This thing is amazing!
