It was dribbling the whole dive. Have re set to 1.3". I guess there's a reason they set it at that. Am wondering if I had it set too light. At 1.3" it's not leaking. Out of the water at 50bar it was leaking.
Did you peel the sticker? Or is this factory set still?

That hex looks pretty deep.
Here's where mine lives:
I ran into trouble with same thing after I decided the lever was "too loose". I tightened the little hex screw beneath the diaphragm and subsequently had lots of trouble tuning to eliminate freeflow.
After I realized I was lifting the poppet with the lever hex, and unscrewed it back to "floppy", my problem went away.
Was the top hex your only change?

Yes, only hex. I did confuse myself by setting hex several times with Venturi lever in both positions. I should have paid more attention to your videos. I then noticed that the Venturi lever affects the hex screw so final setting was done with Venturi lever on.

It's stable now although still need to blow back before removing reg from my mouth or it leaks.

I never touched it but do you think I should check lever?

At this depth I'm getting 1.3"
Yours is way higher.
Yours is way higher.
For a seat that seals at 0.5" to freeflow at 1.1-1.3" suggests that something is interfering with seating. That something with this poppet is most likely the lever.
Take 1/8 turn off the lever hex inside the case, and retune for 1.1" cracking effort.
