Empty lung regulator recovery is a shamefully under taught skill, many divers never even consider the scenario. In OW training you get to take your time, get in your happy place and the do your diver trick to get a hand clap. The good news is that you can practice it in shallow water anywhere and then be prepared. The purge function really does work but you need to learn to trust it.
Lacking that skill no number of working regulators will bail you out.
Good job not letting this go to full panic but there are plenty of lessons to take away.
