1/ Fair point.
2/ I guess it will come down to what resistance you have in the loop.
3/ would depend on 2/

4/ I have a P plugged G250 (old ADV) I will put to the test and get back to this with less "imagined" theories!

The apex that came with the mask breathes like a dream - im always taken aback on how well it breathes. As mentioned exhale is less of a dream

but why do you want an uncluttered chest? That's the one place you can reach fast so that's where you want the important things.

Hi Nigel, I too like having my ADV/man add right there on my chest where I can get at it. Every once in a while, if I suddenly turn into in a really stiff current, my ADV will flow a little, but that's the trade off of having it in the CL, right next to the inhale hose, where it will give fresh gas without mixing with the gas in the loop. -Andy
