Question Twin setup different mixes

[FF / EMT]

I’ve never heard of such a thing before, but this fella on the Facebook is adamant that you can run different mixes in each cylinder on a twin setup.
Seems like bad advice, but then again I’ve been wrong before.

I'm not a tech diver... but looking at it from an equipment standpoint he's not wrong. It could be done. But even as a recreational guy that only looks into the tech stuff from a curiosity standpoint, it sounds extraordinarily stupid.

But, what do I know!

Respectfully,

That's stupid.

It sounds like something from the days of slob knobs and 90# bungeed wings.

I've seen people run different mixes in independent doubles (for CCR), but doing that with just closing the manifold? **** no.

 

[BoltSnap]

That's stupid.

Can you be more clear and to the point please??

I saw that one go by and was convinced he was trolling. He’s either trolling or a Darwin Award honorable mention.

I remember people running different gases, usually air and a recreational nitrox mix in an independent twinset (i.e. no manifold). Of course, two SPG. It wasn't super common, but I have seen it.

That's stupid.

Unless your diving a Choptima in Open Water with BM LP50’s doubled. Dil in one tank, Nitrox in the other.
