Me and my big mouth

[SteveFass]

I've always thought my mouth was pretty ordinary - at least that's what my girlfiriend tells me (that's a joke), however I think I'd like to replace my mouthpiece with one that is longer. My reg is a Zeagle Convoy deluxe - not the hearviest second stage, but far from the lightest. I'd keep the Zeagle mouthpiece and use it as a backup.

It looks like it is held on only with a zip strap. Do I just cut the strap and put on a new one?

What kind of mouthpieces are most popular? Short/Long; custom (e.g., SeaCure)?

Steve,
The mouthpiece fits very snugly onto your reg, then it's secured by a zip tie. If you buy the mouthpiece from your LDS, I'm sure they'd be happy to put it on for you. Otherwise, it's not a difficult thing to do: it's exactly as you suspect: secure the mouthpiece with the zip tie, pull it tight, then snip off the excess.

I love my SeaCure! You can't beat biting down on what's essentially a mouth guard: no jaw fatigue. Just be sure to read the back of the package to ensure you buy the right one for the Convoy.

Go the "SeaCure" route, you'll never regret it.

I'll second the SeaCure. My reg (Oceanic Zeta) came with a mouthpiece that was very thick and always left me with jaw fatigue. Since switching to the SeaCure, I've had no problems at all--like Scubagirl15 says, it's like biting down on a custom mouth guard. For the Zeagle, I believe you'll need the SeaCure II--just double check before you buy it. And, from my experience, they are a good bit longer, so that should be a plus for you as well.

Put a SeaCure on my Zeagle, and it has been wonderful!

Thanks all - sounds like everyone is in agreement (is this a first for Scubaboard?!!). Also glad to hear I can put it on myself (I love the rare instances when I can be self sufficient).

Seacure is the way to go!

I like the Aqualung Comfobite mouthpieces.

Seacure is the way to go! custom mouthpeice best 20 dollars you can spend. your reg is more secure which helps you relax.

I like the Aqualung Comfobite mouthpieces.

I have a Comfo-Bite on my Pro Diver second stage and it does seem to take less "jaw" to keep it in, although mine feels a little floppy/flimsy/soft. The Seacure one sounds enticing...will it fit a USD second stage?

cheers
