OK so it just popped into my mind while putting some gear away. I have no experience breathing of a Dive Rite Rite Source or Similar, but what if you used that as your left side second stage when sidemounting. It would minimize a hose which helps stream lining, and one less thing you have to clip or have wrapped around your neck.

What are your thoughts on this?

Personally I think those things are a sorry excuse for a backup device, and an even sorrier one as a primary device. That silly QD connector to a life support device is just a dumb idea. And every one of these things I've tried is like breathing through a straw. They (and I mean everyone, not just DiveRite)seem to put really low quality seconds on them, detuned to where not only does it not freeflow, it doesn't flow at all!

I've just bought a rebreather with one on. It's coming off as soon as my class is over.

yeah i wasn't sure never used one, they could be tuned up some as well to breath better, its just adjustment.

thanks for your thoughts.

Had one a couple years ago, and it wouldn't stop leaking. DR sent me another one, and it leaked even more. They IGNORED the problem. I couldn't see selling the piece of crap, so I threw it out. It really is Junk!
