I never liked that o-ring. I think there are easier and safer ways to make that seal.

I know several divers who had CO2 problems due to it becoming dislodged or misplaced.


I much prefer captive o-rings, they are less likely to come dislodged and cant be misplaced.

When I first got it I toyed with the idea of modifying my YBOD to remove this problem.

See attached concept drawings - 1st one is mod to original, 2nd one is new lid mod. I never got around to doing either and dont suggest anyone modifies anything - just for discussion only

How is it done on the EVO?
