HI Marilyn--
I tried to conserve O2 and cap the line when it was not running (no, I don't put it in standby mode). But then you have to remember to uncap it...
So I don't use the cap, and it takes a long time to bleed out a tank.
take care,
gerry

A question: do you run your Costech EA with a cap on the VO2 vent or without a cap? Directions are “skimpy” with respect to this connection.
Curious, Marilyn
