Cool!
One thought for you.
I noticed you have a molded mouthpiece.
Try to remove it from the BOV and put it in your mouth as normal and breathe through it.
Then, do the same with for example the Ambient Pressure mouthpiece.
If your molded moutpiece works as the one I had, you will find that the part of the mouth further towards the throat constricts (due to the biting of the teeth on the rear section of the molded mouthpiece).
With the Ambient Pressure mouthpiece which has bigger bites for the front teeth, if you try the same you will find that the airway is much more clear and open (no restriction towards the back of the mouth).
Maybe it is my mouth, but I think these molded mouthpieces cause a massive increase in WOB (but it is not so obvious until you focus on it).
Just a thought!
wow...you are creating puzzles in my head now...although i never thought about such a thing, never felt anything, i'll try and investigate just to clear the thoughts in my mind...
