New DPV - Dive Xtras

[Pkishino]

Another option I’m considering is to build the 5S2p using the m50s and existing shells but limit the draw to max 20.. as we won’t be using higher gears in most of the diving.. until I sort out an adapter for custom sized packs

Have a question about the vinyl wrap on the tube. I brought my wrap over the ends of the tube and down the 8th inch or so of sloped inside surface, and then cut it off there. As you can see, there are little crimped up parts that stand up on the part where the O-ring will touch. I suppose I could trim them, but then I’d have a little groove there. Any ideas on what to do about this? I think it might have allowed a wee bit of water intrusion.

I didn't extend the wrap over the edges. Mine stops a couple of mm before the edge. I don't think it's a good idea to have it wrap around to the inside. But IDK, that was my first time wrapping anything. I will admit mine doesn't look perfect if you look up close, but no one really does, and it's going to get dinged up over time anyway. Do you have any of the wrap material left? Can you either redo it without wrapping over the edges, or can you trim the edges flush?

We all want to look good, but if the wrap interferes with the O-rings that is no bueno.

Personally I would trim that and keep that area clear.

im planning to use knifeless tape around the edge to get it just to the edge, but not over over..yes, usually when wrapping you should go over the edge but for this as mentioned, it will interfere with sealing

I trimmed it at the edge. I have hundreds of hours on the scooter since then and there are dings and scuffs but the edge has not lifted or been a problem in any way.

Does everyone align the batteries at the 9 o'clock position or does it work better slightly off that?
