I was looking at a dacor viper america in a local store. seems like the purge button is impossible to press.. does everyone else have similar experience? does it feel different underwater ? just being curious.. thanks
its not impossible to depress but not as easy like other regs, this is good becuae this means that it wont be depressed from moving in the water(ie normal kikcing or from giant stride entry) also it doenst breathe wet at all unless your mouth pice isnt seated right
if you get water in it from a reg exchange simple exhale into it and depress the purge button and the water is out.
personally i love the vipers ( i have the america) and it keeps my jaw fatigue at a min, but i would love to have the metal or gold for cold weather.
