Breathing wet and air leak during vacuum test for Aqualung Mikron ACD

[Centrals]

Thanks very much, sir! I think now it is seated properly and no more gaps from inside. I also now get a complete seal when inhaling with 1st stage closed.

I will try to get the cracking force checked at the shop before I head to the Red Sea in 2 weeks if I have the time. That said, I noticed that the adjusting knob (from fully in to fully out) did make a big difference in terms of how bouncy the lever was, and it is behaving similarly as the well tuned octo. I am sure I will get an acceptable cracking force using the knob alone. Worst case, I will open it up again and do it myself when I am in Sharm

Thanks again!

Every diver should have an inexpensive IP gauge in the tool box.

Just to report back - I guess it was a success~ It worked fine for my week long diving in Sharm. It does free flow a bit when I turn the knob to max and purge, but it is fine if i lower it a bit.
