Default Precise Flow Oxygen Conserver

Does anybody have any experience with Precise Flow Oxygen Conserver by
Precise Flight? It says on the website it should deliver oxygen for one person
for up to 20 hrs from a 22 cu ft bottle. All this for $395 and it does not require any batteries as MH EDS for $ 650.Has anyone tried it in sailplane?
Thank you
Paul

20 hour at what altitude?

Mountain High EDS with a 22 cu ft cylinder delivers as follows:
10,000 ft 61.31 hours
15,000 ft 40.88 hours
18,000 ft 34.06 hours

I have both a Nelson (now Precise Flight) portable O2 system and an EDS
system. Besides the other comments about these systems, the EDS is more
comfortable to use as it seems to dry out the mucous membranes less.

The Nelson Oxymizer system is a 4 place and is about 10 years old. Two of
the flow meters are cracked at the needle valves and leaking. Guess I
shouldn't complain as the system is older, but it doesn't have many hours of
use. The plastic may get brittle with age.

The EDS, on the other hand, has been reliable, no problems at all.

I'm not getting quite that much time with mine. It seems that I tend to
breathe frequently and shallow which seems to use much more O2 that slow
deep breathing. I'm working on that.

I'd be very interested in reports on this system too. Note this is not
the old Nelson fixed regulator, with needle valve, flow meter, and
oximizer canula. The system of interest is a mechanical pulse delivery
system.
