Vintage Double Hose

I seem to remember a nice illustrative post on setting up / tuning a Kraken. Can't seem to find it...

In particular, I seem to have a little over enthusiastic venturi effect taking place. At times when I inhale deeply or quickly change to an exhale in a breathing cycle, it seems to "stick open", and at my pause of breath or quick change of cycle, the gas is "racing" out the exhaust side from the supply...

It could just be me needing to learn to dive it better, but I want to read some to see if the tune (factory) might be just a bit aggressive....

Love this regulator!!

Robert, do you feel the venturi kick in more or less depending on your position in the water.....i.e. head up, head down, upside down etc?

Bryan:

strong current drift dive, likely slightly head down, but maybe not.... it seems to happen with a "quick" cycle of inhale/exhale (exertion or "work"). With the fast drift, many times I'm using my lungs to rise over an obstacle, so a fast & deep inhale and it really seems to break into a heavy "flow"..

I was just thinking it might be tuned too "hot" with the venturi it has.

The more i think about when it happens, it is possibly head down. Last experience of it was getting down and to the bottom in the current. Not a steep angel, but somewhat tilted forward...

Robert, I talked with Luis a bit about it and he is going to send you a PM or E-mail later today to get more details from you.

I'll follow up and post more info when we have it.
