About 400 views, and 16 votes?
Yeah, what's up with that?? C'mon guys, cast a vote. It's just a little click...
I see what you mean - too strange - and interesting. Perhaps I worded the poll so that it's confusing? Should I reword? Any ideas? And, can a poll be reworded?

Oh don't sweat it. I think people just aren't big poll takers here. Notice lack of interest in other polls started lately.

It's not YOU, Darling Gasp! We all love to COME TO YOUR PARTY! It's just that we don't all like to "dip".

LOL,

Swift II leak....

Post by gasp » Fri Jun 29, 2007 9:19 pm

[quote="Bonnie"]Jefe,
That is the same kind of leak I had with the Swift II but a little teflon tape and no more hissing. I'm wondering if people who use the Swift II that say it doesn't seem to be any quieter have that elbow hissing. It's not enough to drastically change leak numbers but it was very annoying. How was your leak rate with the Quattro before telfoning??

You crack me up. Ok, now I have 4 masks - but have only customized a chin strap, so I only get one vote.

At the rate my new full face ComfortFull 2 leaks, I might get the glue gun out and seal up the lower chin part

I tried a variety of headgears on the Hybrid, finally going back to the newer black stretchy one from the manufacturer.

I use the Rested Gal Mantyhose Tights Strap method on any mask from time to time.

I am about to get some Teflon tape to fix the leak on the Quattro, if that counts. My vendor sent me two replacement elbows, nether of which helped. Last I heard, he was going to send me a replacement shell, but I'm off-topic now.

I think Teflon tape counts double ; )
