What’s your method for blowing a bag when you’re on the loop?none of those methods is good for anything
I don't use that kind of D/SMB. When I did, I filled it from my primary anyway, and will still would if I had one to fill. Same with lift bag. If you don't like having your reg out of your mouth for a few seconds, you can pop your necklaced 2nd in while using the primary.With this configuration, do you have any concerns about filling an smb? It sounds like it would be difficult to fill an open bottom or duck bill bottom smb or lift bag. Have you ever tried it?
Agreed. I covet the CO2-cartridge DSMB!I like the lp hose inflation ones, though I did just get a co2 cartridge one I need to play with.
I was inflating my lift bag with my second stage, but doing it that way also seemed to pump a lot of water into the lift bag along with some air. I think the bubbles going up the funnel takes water with it.
So I’m looking at using my LP inflator hose plugged into the special nipple on the lift bag and see if that works better. I’ll put a dedicated longer LP hose on my 1st stage just for this.
The question pertains to when you are using the necklace reg and the primary may not workI don't use that kind of D/SMB.

I don't understand. You mean the working reg I just took out of my mouth is suddenly not working when I use it to inflate a lift bag?The question pertains to when you are using the necklace reg and the primary may not work

They do. (That's why in another thread the guy with the exploded swivel went to the surface.)I think the bubbles going up the funnel takes water with it.
