hi, i just bought the halcyon infinity from my LDS and tried it out today at the beach.
while on the surface i inflated fully and noticed that bladder got little smaller after 5 minutes but i thought i was just overreacting.
i had to trim some straps so i decided to go to my LDS and there was another guy who had been using halcyon for long time so i asked him some questions instead of the owner. he was telling how i can open the dump valve on the bottom when washing the bcd inside out and inflator valve that was attached to the bladder as well. and he told me episodes that he went on rig diving and that valve leaked.
long story short, i came home and decided to open to bottom and top valve. bottom valve was easy enough to open and close it.
after opening and closing the top valve, air leaked a lot and i found out that i have to place the valve correctly since opening was hexagon shape. after that it doesn't leak as much as before but still leaks. i'm guessing it's because i tried to screw it without placing it correctly at the first time so plastic part is little worn out causing the air to leak.
here's the video i just recorded
is this acceptable or should i take it back to LDS?
