Karma, it's a bitch

Post by Needsdecaf » Wed Jul 23, 2008 10:28 am

So after posting yesterday how well the Liberty and I are getting along, the freaking thing goes and breaks on me last night!! Yup, you guessed it, the elbow broke.

And to top it all off, a new elbow is $35. Not what I really wanted to spend $35 on!!!

I bet if I sourced all the parts of this mask, it'd be more than the actual mask itself.

Arrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Sorry, just venting.

I keep hearing how these Liberty Mask elbows keep breaking.

Can somebody post a picture of where/how it breaks?

Did you forget to knock wood when you said it was working well?!

Yeah, I had that happen. I had ONE EUPHORIC NIGHT on a FREE HYBRID that a forum member sent me. I posted how happy and energetic I felt the next day.

That night, I could NOT recreate the love. Could never get it to work right again.

Ended up trading it to ANOTHER forum member for a Nasal Aire II.

The Gorilla Glue is working now. We'll see how it works.

Mine broke right here. The ring I am pointing to ovals when you squeeze the outside to slip over a ridge on the edge of the hole on the mask.

I must have rolled over on it or something.

Gorilla glue worked like a CHARM. Let it dry a couple of hours and so far soon good.

My elbo on my ultra mirrage full face mask broke too and they used to sell
the part of the elbo that broke but not any more. I had to buy the whole elbow assimbly ~$45. I think that having your mask break right after braging about how good it is is covered in one of the clauses in Murfie's law. Like I was hunting for a CD I lost for over a year, bought a replacement played it once then the next day I found my old one.
