Sewer rats may taste like pumpkin pie, but I won't know cause I don't eat the filthy... ya know.Nailer99 wrote:Gas flows through the upper scrubber first, then into the lower scrubber- the theory is that the upper scrubber is used up after 2(I think) hours, but the lower scrubber is still unused- so you can swap them, replacing the upper with the lower, and placing a fresh one in the lower slot- it's a redundant feature that I think might be a really good idea, but time will tell.

Still on the fence about the logic behind the design. I would like to say different Strokes for different folks, but that might spark a fire. ya know.

The Sport KISS has a dual chamber design and I like many others were quick to consider it the new and improved method to co2 removal and breakthrough prevention. I sold a few units, each has been replaced. These days I like more than just 5 to 50 units in circulation with considerable usage accomplishing creditable limits before I say it is amicable for the masses. There is no doubt the rEvo is on it's way to becoming a main stream RB, but my serious face says time will tell.
Seems like at first glance it makes perfect sense, but let's say:CaptnJack wrote:Matt (or someone knowledgable) can you explain more about your trepidations around dual chambers?
Assuming you ignore they so-so idea for reusing media (to some extent) and change both canisters simulataneously, what are the pluses and minues of dual chambers outside that??
Thanks

ps I have to say the slim design and backmounted counterlungs are more appealing to my sensibilties.
I guess I don't understand your logic here. When you swap, you are always putting in a fresh canister not switching the locations of the used ones. So your "secondary" is always fresh.mattwave wrote:

You over breathe your primary canister, consequently utilizing your secondary canister.
Now you don't have a 100% assurance that you have or have not over breathed your canister, you swap them and now you have a slightly or not so slightly used canister as you primary and an spent canister as your secondary.
I could be more inclined to always have at least one freshly packed canister, but if you were to call is truly a redundant system, you would need two freshly packed canisters, where I can see the merits.
For as popular and mainstream some say the rEvo is; I would like to see them in usage, and get a more touch and feel operation of the unit.
George are there any in this Seattle or PNW area?
