Knobs on dump valves?

[tyson155]

If my dongle gets caught on something (which never happened to me in decades of diving)... so what? So I would need to adjust and would lose some gas.

My thickly gloved hands prefer some kind of dongle. That being said, my wing came with just a knot - and I often fumble trying to get ahold of the knot - but after several years I haven't added a dongle, even tho every now and then I think about doing so.

Edit - im speaking about kidney dump.

Guilty as charged. They're usele

Now, who removes the rubber mouthpieces from their K-inflators ?

I have used CA glue (super glue) to stiffen the end and knot sections of the pull string.

I guess the other extreme would be to turn it into a second stage ? Not making a case for this, just recalling that it has been produced.

Thicker string seems nice as long as it slides freely.

No it's one use only sticks open and down you go, forever

But never fear Bob and all his friends are here and they have the means to fashion the holes bigger
