Apeks EVX Tungsten - the ultimate diving regulator
The Apeks EVX Tungsten represents the evolution of more than 50 years of technical development by Apeks. It combines state-of-the-art regulator technology with a robust design, high durability and extremely smooth breathing. Maximum thermal performance, precise ergonomics and reliability make it the ideal choice for demanding divers who require perfect performance in any environment - including extremely cold water.
First Stage

- Ribbed diaphragm clamp improves heat exchange in cold water
- Unique over-pressure (overbalanced) diaphragm design - provides higher performance with increasing depth
- ACD system prevents water from entering the first stage
- 5 medium pressure (MP) ports for optimal hose routing
- 2 angled high pressure (HP) ports for ideal hose routing and transmitter mounting
- Double hose swivel for greater freedom of movement and comfort
Second stage
- Ergonomic and easy to use venturi lever
- Large breathing resistance adjustment wheel - easy to use even with gloves on
- Laminar flow valve for smooth breathing
- Two-stage progressive purge button
- Resettable for left or right throttle inlet configuration
