Something ain't right. I can't see how this is possible.
Do you clip the primary off when not in your mouth?
Yes I clip it off. I would like to use the long hose for sharing air inside a wreck but when I switch to my bungied reg the long hose lays on the bungied hose, I might try a shorter hose with a right angle adapter (I'm using a 30" hose). I'll work on it some more, thanks for the help RJP and DA.
