Gill,

All good questions and I hope to see some good responses. I just wanted to add a note to something you said above.

I've finessed out the unused (loose, unclumped, uncolored) sorb from my axial and noticed (which I fully expected) a conical shape to the spent sorb. From the outside of the scrubber, the colored portion of the sorb doesn't really give, IMHO, a full picture of what is used on the axial scrubber as a portion not seen from the outside is used above that obvious exterior color contrast line. The scrubber could actually be spent prior to the 'purple' getting anywhere near the top as viewed from the outside, as the inside cone could be touching the port.

I'm sure everyone already knows this, but thought I put it in here as a side note or reminder.

As my frequent dive buddies are all now diving radials, I am the last bastion of axial'dom and curious about learning more about the radial as well.
