Cheers Dave.. Was thinking of trying that also . Btw can you get a softer exhale valve?

No dont think so and if you can I think that would cause its own problems.

the jj bov exhaust valve works perfectly in the air 2 and it will in the jj bov. I have NickB's mod on my bov and it works a treat, no water in the bov and I can turn up the airflow to make it breather better.

I think its worth to say, the original plan of the JJ bov was for it to be a stepping stone, a means to get you off the loop quickly and to allow you to breathe a safe gas while you prepare a suitable bailout reg to do the job long term. The JJ bov was never meant to be a primary means of OC breathing.

In my opinion all bovs are a compromise between size, good CC breathing and good OC breathing. None of them in my opinion do all of those jobs well
