You can always go with argon to inflate your dry suit. It will be self contained, with hose, so won’t use one of the regulator ports.

I 2nd this idea or add a pony for a 2nd unless you are looking for an excuse to buy a new reg :)

Your 1st suggestion was the best. All of the Air2’s,AirLinks etc will work with your BC. Good luck with your new drysuit experience.

To answer your other question. The drysuit inflator hose will fit the LP port of the 1st stage.

Yes, you can consolidate and use a integrated octo/inflator and the first stage has 2 different sized ports which differentiate the high and low pressure sides.
Now for more important considerations....
First let me say that I myself use a integrated octo to dive whether wet or dry suit.
That said: Using a integrated octo requires different skills to deal with buoyancy and breathing on the same unit. It’s in the timing of when you take a breath and exhaust air out of the BCD to keep from ascending too fast. The skills should be practice and made second nature just like any other scuba skill.
With a dry suit however you should only have air in the BCD at the surface and the dry suit is used to compensate for neutral buoyancy.

thanks guys for all the good info!!! consolidating the bcd/octo is the way im going! it will spare me the cost of the new reg!!! im putting the money toward a pony tank, using my old octo ( gotta get my hands on a 1st stage) for my pony! tank + new octo 300 give or take. all that’s left is the 1100 for the pinnicale freedom 3!!!!! wish I could find a gently used suit for less!! (5’9 190 )
