I'm a little overtasked right now, and don't really have the time to make a full report. Suffice it to say, when I put it on a "Pete Wolfinger" flow bench, inhalation effort was 1" @ 2 SCFM decreasing to 0" at about 14 SCFM. It crossed lightly into freeflow above that flow, and maxed out at about +2" at 27 SCFM.
Granted, this is all surface gas density. But the point is, the Venturi was effective and smooth, unlike some designs that become wildly unstable at high flow.
Someone else has commented upon the reverse threading of some components, so it will be an inexperienced Technician's nightmare. Lots of plastic bits.
But barrel stabilization is better than the XTX50, and flow is very smooth.
