JJ - Finding an alternate mouthpiece

[michael-fisch]

Use the comfobites. They come in 2 sizes, normal and small. The small works better for me on my RBs, and I get a lot less water in my cannester (SF2) and counterlungs + cannester (XCCR n FLEX).
Tried the mouldable JAX mouthpieces and didn't like them at all, while molding them it's too easy to bite hard enough that airflow is really limited.

I would like to order one of those Drager mouthpieces for my rEvo (Drager) DSV.

I found the website you mentioned.

Dräger Dolphin/Ray Mundstück | Online Shop | W+S Water Safety Europe GmbH | Seit 1999

Unfortunately, I don't speak German and the online purchasing process isn't working for me - I think because I don't really understand what I need to put in some of the fields (even using Google Translate).

Do you (or anyone else) know where I can order that mouthpiece? A website in English?

Hi Stuart,
I'm sitting in Germany and the the w+s water safety website says "...Produkt: Dolphin/Ray Mundstück. Dieser Artikel ist nicht (mehr) auf Lager und kann nicht bestellt werden..." in English: The mouthpiece is no longer in stock and can't be ordered. (it is written here in red text color). Sorry.

Yours - Sven

Thanks, Sven. I guess that solves that...

Hey Stu...

My computer will translate...and I speak a little German...

PM me...I'll give you my phone number...we'll converse on the phone...I'll have my computer on and walk you though an order...you may want to order up a set or two of the Drager DSV mushroom valves as well...your rEvo uses a Drager Ray DSV...

The folks at W S Water Safety are excellent...

Best...

Warren

Thanks for the offer, Warren. From what Sven said, I guess I'm just out of luck.

Not so...I just checked...the larder is full for both the Ray mouth-piece...and the Dolphin mouth-piece...which is the same part...

This is a critical part...it will continue to be available...I ordered two this past spring...W S standing stock has not changed...

Best...

@stuartv Have you tried contacting Draeger here in the US?

They have a good size operation here in S.E. PA. I don't know which product lines exactly, but Draeger corporate is now selling the Panorama Nova Dive Sport FFM through Amazon at pretty agressive pricing: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NCYRMLB, so maybe they are pushing into the US market.

I looked at the Drager USA web page. It was all about medical and safety. I didn't see a hint of anything related to watersports, so I didn't even reach out. My suspicion is they don't even have rebreather parts in their pricelist they get from the home office.

I emailed Water Safety about the mouthpiece. This is their response:

thank you for your email.


We don’t have the item in stock.


If you click on the item it got the 3 green squares but it tells you item not in stock.


The item is on the orderlist but I have no date of delivery.


Just come back to our website time by time and check if they are available.

I don’t know if OSEL sell the mouthpieces they put on their ALVBOV, but it is the best one I’ve used. It has the biggest bore I’ve yet seen:

I have now ordered some of the Drager mouthpieces from Martin at TecMe.de. He has to get them from Drager, but should have them in a couple of weeks.

Thanks, @W W Meixner, for making that connection.
