Mike, Jakub, or anyone with experience with these:

I ordered a few of the 'DrMike' OC 2nd stage adapters from Golem for Apeks my ATX50 2nds. One will be permanately mounted on the mask for nasal sanity breaths, and the other will be on my deep bailout bottle. I'll order more in the future.

The question is this:

The Apeks has a lip where the mouthpiece attaches. The p-port adapter is Delrin or the like and won't accept this lip. I didn't get any instructions; so, does the lip get filed off or did I get the wrong pieces? How is the fit? I'm assuming you need some kind of silicone to ensure water tightness since there is no o-ring??

Any help is much obliged.

Thanks,

Eric

Normally the lip is left and the correct adapter slides tightly over it. Did you get the apex adapter or the smaller scubapro? (I supply both to Jakub) . Personaly I use silicon sealant to seal it but some recently have had sucess with an o-ring
