a reg to be more difficult to breath from when inverted and/or laying on your back face up? I noticed this on a cheap regulator and remember hearing something a time back, but can't remember the logic.

But surely as gravity would tend to bring the diaphragm down whilst inverted, this would make breathing easier
For my money, cudachaser is on the mark.

Look at your diaphragm, then you'll get it. The effect cudachaser describes perfectly. The physical law is gravity.
