     1. I've discovered that my Unisuit inflator whip passes alot more air 
     than my Viking whip.  The two whips are interchangeable, although the 
     Viking is a bit longer than the Unisuit hose.  
     I prefer using the faster filling whip on both suits
     Does anyone know if a LP whip such as these can be adjusted to 
     increase the flow?  I've disassembled the connector, which consists of 
     two springs and a valve seat, but I cant really figure out how to 
     modify it. I'm pretty sure that the constriction is in the valve 
     connector, rather than the hose itself.  I think that the internal 
     diameter of both hoses is the same.

     2. I also have a similar problem (albeit a different reason) with my 
     BC inflator valve.  The problem with my BC seems to be in the inflator 
     mechanism,  not the whip.  The power inflator is the standard 
     Parkway/Seaquest type that many manufacturers use.

     Any ideas on how to increase these flows for faster inflation?
