After renting for 2 years it was time to finally get my own set of regulators, and I'm glad I went with these! Very solid construction, seems like it could take a massive drop and keep ticking (Never recommended :-P ). I bought a primary and secondary from two different online shops and there seems to be a difference in finishing. The first I bought has a shiny exterior while the second is much flatter, a minor aesthetic difference that HOG has decided to take i guess, but no difference is construction quality.
The ability to tweak the amount of air while diving is a new concept to me. Still haven't quite got it figured out, but I definitely felt a difference and enjoyed the option!
Finally I hope no one is scared off by the label of being one of the best Technical regulators out there. Combined with the edge epic regulator, or the D1/D2 it could preform well for anyone. I tried to get it to free flow at 20 m, jacking up the air flow and venturi switch then moving the regulator orientation along with a little whack, nothing, which totally works for me!

Products Description

THE Second Stage for Technical Divers!   Technical divers demand performance, durability, and dependability from their gear... HOG delivers. At a shockingly low price. You can easily pay three times more and get a less capable regulator, but why?



The HOG Second stage gives you ergonomic one-handed access to both the inhalation effort knob and the dive/predive venturi adjustment lever, making perfect regulator tuning easy.  The rigid second stage face cover and the positive-action purge button with diaphragm protection reduces the possibility for current-induced free flows and completely eliminates the possibility of diaphragm pinching seen with many flimsy rubber purge covers.  The most important feature of the HOG technical second stage is the amazing breathing performance!  The metal gas tube and precision components of this second stage allow for precision tuning for extremely easy breathing while also retaining heat and moisture from exhaled breath. This provides increased resistance to freezing in cold water and less "dry mouth".  The dual diver-adjustable features allow for condition-specific tuning during each stage of the dive.  When paired with the HOG D1 or D1 COLD first stage, you can assemble a technical diving regulator that simply cannot be beat!
 


We don't sell the HOG regulators as a prepackaged "kit", the intended market, Technical Divers, have varied needs in hose length, this allows us to keep the price lower while not having a "standard" length hose end up discarded and unused, a silly waste of money and resources.

 

Did you know that DRIS can train you to work on your own HOG Regulator?  If you want to do your own annual servicing on your HOG regs, please contact us as we are one of the only facilities offering this course that comes with a TDI Certification!
