Minimize task loading by inhaling off of the Air2 and then exhale as an oral inflate... ;-)
Actually the only think I've never been too keen on about my AirSource is that the LP hose makes it REALLY stiff to swing into yer' yap when you need it and hold there... however... XS has those nifty new hoses and that increases the flexibility of the unit fantastically...
Interestingly... a local instructor hit me with another consideration a while back... I had put one of those "fitted to your mouth" mouthpieces on my primary... the instructor asked me if I though my buddy (my wife) would find this functional if she needed my primary... after some consideration, I added an octo. Overkill? Maybe... but during a class one of the instructors did a "share air" drill with me... (demonstrating the Air2/primary exchange)... he said later that my primary kinda' threw him for a second... not only the mouthpiece... but the 'lip warmer' that Aqua-Lung put on thier 'cold water' configs...
All... things to think about before you run into a real situation... while I joke about the 'task loading' thing a bit... it is, in my opinon, a very valid consideration 'prior to'...
Interesting thread...
