Hello all,

The Atomic Swivel hose on my 5 year old Z3 has decided to leak on me. Should I replace it with another $110 HOSE (really) or go with the Jam Nut and standard hose?

And for those of you commenting on my Strap thread early today, lets not turn this JAM NUT, into a 6 page thread. :) Ah heck, never mind, have at it.
 
I find the swivel hose useless on a long hose. Because it wraps around your neck, the standard hose puts the reg in a comfortable position for you mouth. On a short hose, however, I do find the swivel more comfortable since the hose comes in to your mouth at an angle.
 
Is the swivel leaking or the hose?

If swivel, you can have it serviced.

If hose, just replace with normal hose and a swivel.

It is the swivel. I'll just do that then for now. Need to Service daughters gear anyways.

Thanks.
