Apollo's solution:
B.A.S. 2nd stage with 360 comfort swivel Leading the world in second stage comfort and reduced jaw fatigue. Apollo's patented hose with comfort swivel is standard on all of Apollo's regulator systems. A built-in ball shaped joint allows 25 of movement in all directions. Significantly diminishes the soreness and pain associated with force required to keep your mouthpiece in place.
ISSUE 2:
Changes in air pressure and depth effect stability of air supply!
SOLUTION:
The Bio Air System is an internal bypass venturi system. A silicone tube in the second stage ensures a stable and consistent air supply regardless of changes in air pressure and depth.
ISSUE 3:
Metal parts are subject to corrosion and bacteria formations.
SOLUTION:
The metal parts are processed with a water repellent material. The result is unrivalled protection against corrosion damage and accumulation of bacteria in your air supply system.

Comments about Apollo Apollo A320 Regulator with Comfort swivel:
Location of ports on the first stage is bad if you want to use PDC transmitter or Apollo Bio filter.
I've seen people use a short extension LP hose on transmitters.
As for BIO filter it is a bit hard to screw/unscrew the canister to remove the moisturising pad.
It rubs Occy hose and does not leave any space for hose protector.
If you don't mind this little inconviniences, than it's not a bad reg at all.

Comments about Apollo Apollo A320 Regulator with Comfort swivel:
Great second stage - breathing is effortless, and the swivel really cuts down on jaw fatigue. The layout of the ports on the first stage makes things difficult if you use a wrist computer with a large transmitter; it basically makes it so that everything else (potentially bc, octo and reg) have to plug into the other side (and only 2 of the 3 ports on a side are LP, where all three of these have to plug in! - Conundrum...) I solved the problem by getting an in-line octo, so BC and octo only take one port.
