During my last dive I bumped against a floating dock and the oral inflation button snapped off. I don't know if I am able to glue it together, buy a new piece or if I need to take it in to get serviced.
Aqualung airsource oral inflation button broke - what can I do?

can be replaced by an aqualung dealer or just try gluing it. you can also just go for a regular inflator to replace the airsource too.

I would not use glue, it can jam up the button and cause an incident under water.
Its time to replace the whole thing. Your life isn't worth the quick glue repair

Have had my buttons replaced on the airsource. An easy fix for an authorized dealer or reputable dive shop. I wasn't smart enough to do it myself!

You may want to consider replacing your inflator regulator altogether...opt for a conventional power inflator...DGX...as shown...$18.00...
Start using a conventional second stage regulator/LP hose assembly...either clipped off for easy access in front of you...or worn around your neck on a ''necklace...this would be your ''safe second''...and in an emergency you'd pass off your primary second...
If your inflator regulator is attached to the corrigated inflator hose with zip ties...be careful how you remove them...you don't want to cut or punch a hole in your corrigated hose...
DGX...Dive Gear Express...has everything you'll need to make the conversion...including second stage regulators...LP reg hoses...and standard LP inflator hoses...their house brand products are some of the best low cost items available anywhere...and their customer support is second to none...
If you do opt for a re and re...you will also have to change out your LP inflator hose as the high flow quick disconnect which attaches to your inflator regulator is not compatible with a standard power inflator...
Feel free to PM me if you need further help...
