free flowing regs.

[hawk2]

I hope this isnt a stupid question but is there anyway to fix a free flowing reg once it starts? just hit it a few times? lol.

It depends. Turn the mouthpiece down could stop it. Put your hand in front of the mouth piece could stop it. But if it is frozen you have to turn off the air.

Yep - unless it's free-flowing from an iced up first stage, putting your hand or thumb over the mouthpiece as if you're trying to block the air flow should stop it. If it's a frozen first stage, you'll need to shut off the tank until it thaws out.

Just to point out the obvious. Make sure you have another air supply before you shut the air off. We all do things that we know we know shouldn't, but we just can't stop ourselves.
