I've heard that they use viton o-rings and O2 safe lubricant on all of their regs. You would think coming from the factory that all of the other pieces would be free of any contaminants, but I don't think they're officially O2 clean. Except for that one deco reg that they advertise as O2 ready.

Personally, I used a brand new Alpha 7 PX2 on my deco bottle without doing any other O2 cleaning. I haven't blown up yet, but I'm not done using it yet either.

Nice avatar, by the way. You don't look the same since you got that haircut!
