I finished the Eclipse test. The new halos are really good. I prefer the original Bleep but now the Eclipse is an option. Kudos to Stewart!
I just finished the latest version test myself.
Zero metal ring failures.
Stuart says it will take probably 2 months before the newest version will be ready for public purchase and knowing how things go....I would say he's likely being optimistic.
So everyone take a big patience pill.
Also, Stuart told me that eventually there will be a public explanation of what the problem was and how they tried to fix it and it will be on their website page.....so don't go asking me about it.
I do still prefer the Eclipse but you all have to remember that I have a bad right hand/wrist and fingers and attaching the original Bleep ports to the frame is extremely difficult for me to accomplish due to dexterity issues.
I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.

I also tested the latest version and had no ring failures. But in all fairness, I have to say that I had no ring failures in the 3-month supply I received from SureSeal that I received the end of December (completely used up), or so far in the 3-month supply I received from AeroFlow in March (that I have been using for about 6 or 7 weeks). I do have kind of large nostrils, so a largish flat surface for the Halos to attach to, perhaps that makes a difference?
Also, I have left finger issues that affect my fine motor skills and make attaching the DreamPorts difficult, so like Pugsy, I much prefer the Eclipse. It's so much easier for me to use. Also, much easier to travel with!
