OK that's not true, the regulator is providing me with enough air, I'm still alive after all but it feels like I'm not getting the same amount of air I would be getting if I breathed through my mouth on the surface without a regulator.
I recently bought an Apeks xtx50 regulator and one of the reasons I upgraded from my aqualung Calypso was the desire for a higher flow rate of air. I know the regulator is well tuned (it free flows if I put it in the water on its back) and I make sure that the adjustment knob and venturi is open all the way but I still feel like I could use more air shoved down my throat.
Thoughts?
Does anyone have a similar experience?
