Hi Fred,

In answer to your question, in my experience with the Voltrex, it does *not*
characteristically freeflow.  

I have a Voltrex which I have had since 1994 or so...I never had a bit of
trouble with it as long as it had been serviced by a very good technician.
However, the technician that I used to go to has left the business.  The
past two years I have had it serviced by two different technicians, neither
one of whom managed to cure a "wet breathing" problem.  The Voltrex has been
retired.  I bought a ScubaPro.  Problem solved.
