You are probably thinking of the LlewocSIS Nitrox Stick which is distributed in
North America by Envirodive Services of  Creston BC and Porthill Idaho. I don't
believe they have a web site as yet, but can be reached at  envirodive@ko*.co* 
or 1-800-491-3328.


This unit is extremely simple way of suppling up to 40% with a normal
compressor. It has a locking flow meter on the regulator which is adjusted to
40% max and capped off when you install a fresh O2 bottle. It's secret is that
it gives a totally homogeneous mix in less than two micro seconds allowing it
to be used with any compressor suppling breath quality air with little or no
waste of O2. Just turn on the compressor, dial in the mix (flow meter) check it
on the analizer (attached to output of the stik) and open the cylinder.


You would have to check with Envirodive to see if it can provide richer mixes
if used with a rix compressor. I assume it would, but it might have some  sort
of max O2 flow limit that I'm not aware of.
