I currently do my own partial pressure nitrox blending. I predominantly make EAN60 or EAN80 for deco.
We have a 40m dive coming up and for this I feel EAN28 has significant advantages over air. Problem with EAN28 and partial pressure blending is that it's fiddly putting 18 bar of O2 into a tank. i'm looking for an easier solution.
I'm pretty impressed with the idea of a "Nitrox Stik" system as per Vance Harlow's "O2 hacker's companion" but I'm not so sure about running nitrox through my old Bauer compressor (full of oil).
It's not the filtration that worries me (I have 2 large filter stacks) but the risk of compressing EAN in a compressor running oil.
If you use a "Nitrox Stik" can you let me know what your approach was?
