Hey all!
Relatively new diver and just got my first set of personal gear a few weeks ago. For those of you with an Atomic B2 regulator, how stiff is the swivel joint at the second stage when the system is pressurized? I have about 20 dives over 3 weeks on mine and the swivel doesn't move with me and I have to use my hands to adjust the swivel angle. I was diving with a buddy who got the same reg from the same shop at the same time and his moves much more freely with the system pressurized. The regulator works fine otherwise and the swivel moves freely when the system isn't pressurized. I have rinsed it liberally with water after every dive. I emailed Atomic support and they just said if the regulator works, not an issue an there is a range of tolerances...
I know this is pretty subjective, just trying to get an idea if there's an issue or something I should be doing differently with this. Thanks!
