I have just started using the long hose and I am noticing that it wants to pull out of my mouth to the right. I pull any slack out of the system, but soon enough it is working its way out again. What am I doing wrong?
 
How long of a long hose are you using?

Check the hose routing down along the wing/plate.
 
7 ft.

I bring it down, under the cannister, across the body, under the left arm and around the back of the head. It just feels like I really need to bite down to keep it from wanting to pull out to the right. I pull out any slack, but it eventually works back that way again.

Thanks.

Well there's the problem.

Try down the right side, under the canister, up accross the chest, over the left shoulder, behind the neck, and around to the mouth. That will give you plenty more slack.
 
Doh!

I am guessing and will confirm shortly that under my left arm and up is the problem.

Thanks.
