want to try dreamport

Post by onward60 » Mon May 08, 2023 7:26 pm

I've been reading various threads and am a bit confused about hose length, hose hangers, diffuser, and other things mentioned. Some of the links are old. I found this for sale.

Is this everything I need?

The starter kit has everything you need to use the mask.
The "short" hose that is attached to the frame isn't all that short depending on your definition of "short" but it's a not as short as the original short hose when the Bleep was first released. That hose was a little over 6 inches I guess but it was rather quickly replaced by a lighter more flexible and longer hose maybe 12 to 14 inches....it's been a long time since I used it.
I used the latest version of the Bleep now which is the Eclipse and that "short" hose is probably a little longer than the Bleep DreamPort short hose.

Hose hangars....Stuart is a great fan of using a hose hangar of some sort with both the Bleep DreamPort and the Eclipse.
Others seem to like it as well. I have never cared for a hose hangar myself but that's me.
They are an option but not a critical thing immediately anyway.

Have you seen the videos???

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.
