new aqualung mask- do i have to do something special?

[idanl]

Hi

i just bought new mask - aqua lung look black color

my question is do i need to handle it before dive
(clean lenses or any thing else) in order to avoid lots of fogging?
this is my first mask

also im thinking to replace it with the new look2 mask what do you think?(im still able to do so but its 25$ more)


Thanks

White toothpaste on the inside lense and leave it overnight. A quick and dirty solution is to run a cigarette lighter quickly over the inside lense- but the toothpaste is much gentler.

A good 12 hrs should have it fog free forever.

should it be with a little water or dry with only toothpaste?

also do you recommend to but the look2 or look is just fine?

thanks

Buy the one that fits best and that you like the look of most. The "Look 2" looks to be lower volume, im only guessing from the pictures though, which means you will theoretically use less to clear it, the difference will not be great.

According the the advertising blurb the Look 2 has a greater field of view. Assuming they both fit you well of the two I'd buy the Look 2.

Regular white toothpaste. Clean it a good 3-4 times a day for a couple of days for 15 min. Then get some anti fog (found at any LDS) and use it before the dive. After a few dives you will notice it won't fog.

I used this

Sea Buff? by M Essentials? Cleans Dive Masks, Prepares For Anti-Fog - M Essentials

But it came with my mask when I bought it. It worked great for me.

I don't use toothpaste, I always use a lighter, very rarely have any fogging issues except when I leave my mask in the sun during SI, oops.

For the mask its self, as others have said, toothpaste works best. I have never tried the look, in fact i don't see it listed on their site, only the Look2. I have, however used the Ventura+, micromask, Favola, Infinity, and Teknika. I highly recommend the Teknika and Favola in particular.
