Title: O2 user? Get the O2ptimask!
Post by TedtheBear on May 14^th, 2009 at 9:04pm

The Beast had been toying with me since Saturday - shadows in the 2-5 scale. These were easily squashed using the O2ptimask @ 15 lpm. Today he decided to strike with a 9er. Took 10 full min. @ 15 lpm to abort. Could've been a lot worse without the O2ptimask (30 min.). Feeling drained!

That's fantastic news Ted! If ever IT starts failing you, consider a demand valve. They're alittle pricey but the cadillac for aborting. Hoping the 02 keeps up with slaying the beast for you.

Sorry you are getting hit Ted, but good to hear the o2 is knocking it down.
I am currently using a 15 lpm regulator but am in the process of going to a 25 lpm one.

The O2ptimask has made an amazing difference in my abort times. Much better than my old non-rebreather.

Keep up the good fight. ,Don
