Vintage Double Hose

I was so excited to get into the water, I forgot to turn on my air.

gak sputter!!!! Double DOOM on me for that bonehead one

Once i fixed that problem, me and my twins and my REAm had the urge to submerge.

let me say just how nice it is again to dive with twins, and a Royal.

I have two RAMS, one with standard hoses, one with a set from VSS.

All things being equal, IP and everything else, both using conshelf parts. I found the one with the new stretchy hoses seemed to deliver more air.

Talk about a "whoosh" when inhaled.

A minor cracking effort, and then it was almost like auto inflate. I dont think my hi priced single ever gave such a volume. Depth was 40 ft , not a great depth, but ther was a marked difference between the two regs in how they breathed. Both are identical in every way. I know ther will be those who say they can never be exact, and I understand. There was however no whoosh of air with the other one. Dont get me wrong, it breathed great, just it was not as easy

It seems several people are reporting better breathing with the new super stretch hoses.

On a ten scale, my first RAm with the standard hose breathes about a 7.4

the second ram surpassed that and it may be a perception issue on my part, but i would rate it at least a 8.0 or 8.5.

I cannot wait to have the new nozzle , this should just about breath by itself.

I am so glad I found this site and all of bruans parts. It has given my diving experience new meaning, and it takes me back 30 years.

Now, to be somewhat scientific and fair, switch hoses on the regs and compare again. Then you'll have a better idea what makes the difference- reg or hoses (or both).

O.K. Now I see your post on VSS regarding the dive and comparing the hoses where you did say, "Both regs used to breathe near identical before i changed the hoses".
Thanks for the report, treasureman.
