Rebreather World - View Single Post - setting pri and sec handsets differently???

I'd be happy to discuss this at length with you in person, because your answer is both right and wrong depending on which theory you believe.

While one set of compartments are at 10 percent, you will continue to ongass in others while hanging out for very, very deep stops. Then, you will have to make additional and longer stops along the way to account for that. You will start to rack up quite a bit of extra stop time.

The great debate comes when trying to decide exactly where to draw the line. "Tighten the guitar string too much and it will break. Leave it too loose and it will not play music." (I believe that this is a paraphrase of Siddhartha.) It's all a matter of balance.
