Hi what's the difference and whats the advantages?

Is this really true? Not sure about that, but doesn't JJ offer a axial scrubber as standard, a radial scrubber as option for the standard can and an extended range can and scrubber (which is radial, too)?Specific to the JJ the radial will increase duration. The axial is much easier to pack than the radial.
JJ comes standard with axial (2.3kg capacity CE rated 3hr) you can buy a plug and play radial (3kg capacity CE rated 4hr) and another option is to buy what JJ calls XRC (4 kg capacity) but this is a whole new can and radial scrubber.Is this really true?

Does the radial scrubber for the standard can really increase duration? From my feeling I would say, since it uses more or less the same space, but has a tube in the center and hence the actual amount of sorb would be lower? Means the usable duration is decreased, but since the cross-section for gas travel is increased, the wob might be lower?

how do you define multi hour?Primary difference is airflow routes. Axial is drawn through the middle, saturates the sorb and is exchanged back to the inhale counterlung. Radial is drawn evenly around the outside of the scrubber, returning through the middle. Idea is that you have more surface area to exchange Co2 and it improves wob.

Unless your profiles are multi hour, deep, medium effort, the axial should be more than enough.
