I got a UV one recently as well, my treatment (inspired by Apeks' instructional video) was a little different than with my non-coated mask, out of an abundance of caution:I just received the VX1 UV mask and was wondering if anyone here had this model and had any advice on prepping the mask to dive fog free. I know all the normal techniques but was wondering if the UV makes a difference in how to prep it.
- used neutral pH soap, which in my case was liquid dish soap (skin soaps tend not to be neutral, as I've learn with this occasion); all other methods (especially fire) seemed much too risky to me, in terms of stripping the coating
- put a bit on the mask and pushed it around with my finger to cover the inside lens surface
- left it on for a few hours
- rinsed, repeat a few times (did this over the course of a weekend afternoon)
- regular anti-fog treatments before the dive
