I disagree out of personal preference. I like all the chambers.. paying for a fanatic and not getting them, after this was already talked about & planned, would suck.
We've never had a clear explanation of what the perk setup for the fanatic
is, though, so it'd be hard to say you're missing out on something youwere never clearly promised. We've seen an incompete design and told it won't be that, but may be
like that, somehow, and with "another chamber". It's a pretty vague description, though, and "another chamber" could be interpreted a buch of ways. If it was just a fixed dual-chamber like the Swagger double, it'd seem a bit old and stale (especially v.s. the funky Early Bird tubes). It could just mean it has a dual turbine and they're counting the division between them as creating a new chamber? It could be two discrete perk-to-turbine chambers? It could even be a chamber added to incorporate recycler functionality or some other as-yet unmentioned awesomeness. But until we know all we can do is speculate in wild circles. :/
Oh well, that's kinda fun too, I guess.
I like lots of ice and lots of water filtration, because I feel my lungs feel better that way.
In the approach I proposed, you'd still have the option of using the straight mouthpiece with ice pinches. Go nuts with all the ice you want. Hell, if you're feeling good and fancy, put some dry ice in there, and now you don't have to worry about it evapourating and raising the water level (though it
may carbonate your water slightly
).
Cleaning isn't that much of a bitch.
A lot of two-chamber designs are indeed a pain, as they can be very difficult to fully drain unless carefully designed to allow it. Unless you want to waste a lot of ISO, it's hard to get all of the inside shiny and clear without haze, streaks or droplet marks. Some blowers add drain plugs in such situations, but most leave them out for aesthetic reasons.
And if you want only 1 water chamber then can't you just fill 1 of them?
You can just fill one, but the empty chamber still adds drag to the draw. Much better to have a single chamber if you want a single. The main point of course is whether it's providing a sufficient conditioning level to satisfy you, but I really think a turbine setup would be more than sufficient for your needs, even single chamber. They create a lot of micro-droplets and folded bubble layers and other funky shit that gets the relative humidity in the charge up to maximum really quickly, and a moisture-saturated charge isn't going to pick up any new moisture from the lining of your lungs, which dramatically cuts the irritation factor.
Anyway, if the piece has a removable mouthpiece and you want a second chamber, you can just stack one on. And then put whatever sort of mouthpiece you want on top.
You can give fanatics BOTH the bent neck and straight tube w/ ice pinches by having an upper GonG. Attach the straight tube at the top, or take it off and put on the bent neck attachment. Now that would be awesome. Because then you could also set both aside and stack another hydratube of yours or glycerin chamber on top of it.
I agree, which is why my first post on this topic opened with this:
I really, really hope that means they're doing something awesome like a removable mouthpiece setup where Fanatics get BOTH straight w/ pinches and skinny bent mouthpieces included.
