I just went out to my truck to switch out tanks for tomorrow morning's dive, and discovered that I'd left the tank turned on since last night, with reg still attached of course. I've done this a couple of times before.
My question is, is it bad for the regular to leave it pressurized for long periods of time?
Also, in my case, I use an Atomic M1, which has a design in the 2nd stage which I call a reverse poppet, where the rubber valve seat is pushed against the orifice only when the reg is pressurized.
Any thoughts?
