Wow...that looks interesting.
I can't wait to hear more about this unit.
What is that? Is someone making those or is it a one of kind?
I like the large diaphragm. It looks funtional.

That looks like a Phoenix nozzle on this awesome prototype double hose regulator.
We want more information!

I'm glad to see that the design made it this far. As I recall I saw the prototype in 2004. Looks great! I won't spoil the fun. -Ryan

Man, I don't know what it is but it looks really cool. Looks like Darth Vader dove it.

Very interesting. In addition to the large diaphragm, the easily replaceable mouthpiece is a good idea. With the demise of the new Mistral, let's hope this (or some other) double hose makes it into production...

JMO, but I think the new Mistral was something like the 1971 Mustang. People looked at it, scratched thier heads and went "hugh???" Sales suffered and the car went into a complete redesign for 1972 which was a much better seller.
This reg looks pretty interesting if for no other reason it retains the "correct" hoses, giving it more of a classic look. I would love to see a few more pictures of it.

O.K. So, how did YOU get ahold of a Mentor?
(Can you tell I don't have a clue what the Mentor looks like?
)

As soon as I get an ok from the person who has been developing it to give out all the details I will be happy to. I have been communicating with him by E-mail but I don't want to say more than I should without his permission.
Mentors are available if you want to spend the coin....And they aint cheap!

Check the DOWNLOAD section of the site under MENTOR.....Take some time to look around in that section while you are there....It might answer a lot of questions you have.
Last price I got for the mentor was 3k with NO SPARE PARTS avail....
