When on the deco line, I've tried all kinds of breathing styles, and only
if I inhale very slowly or very quickly do I avoid the flutter.  I'm
begining to suspect that the flutter goes away after a "break-in" period. 
I'm relatively new to Odins, and have only used them on about 50 dives.
Any thoughts?

Aloha,
