Subject: Re: 80% arrrgh!! was Re: On the left
I'm using a "Swiss Army" sampler - an old SCUBA 1st with a surplus
flowmeter and needle valve mounted on the LP port and a 5000 psi gauge on
the HP port. Works as an mix sampler, a tank pressure checker, and constant
flow reg for emergency O2 from a SCUBA/O2 tank. Not bad for $20. I keep it
along with a doctored non-rebreather mask (two exhaust valves, no open
port) in my dive bag.
