also like to check, recently when I depressed my 2nd stage, it went into free flow mode, what issue would it be and how do I resolve it?
if at the surface, it is not tuned properly, tune it properly
If in the water with the mouthpiece down, see above. If in the water with the mouthpiece up, it is working fine.

When I purge more than 2 sec, it's like it continue to free flow... I used to purge my reg, I didn't have this issue till my recent dive... Which I think, it's time for the annual servicing.
But it I am not sure if the tech did a proper job.

Ohhhh. it would be the turning of the 1st stage right? Using the IP gauge right?
yeah, it is on land I am having that issue.
hope he did tune. If not will drop by his shop next week to test, as I do not have a air tank at home.
but it shouldn't maintain that freeflow on land when you release the purge button, and most second stages with adjustment knobs will have a very slight freeflow when the adjustment knob is opened all the way, they are tuned like that.
