I wouldn't make it alarming. I would just say I've heard a report that one recipient attempted to use their device over the weekend, they duct taped any hose connections and duct taped the mask to their face and did not feel a thing and wore it for 30 minutes. They noted the granules turned purplish but has no other remarks.
@Living sucks and
@Imroch, I'd like to share my thoughts about posting about this on the EI forum. If it's already been done, no big deal, these are just my thoughts.
As
@Living sucks said, "no other remarks."
Folks here have asked for photos and additional information, and asked if s/he was going to report this to Richard, and
@DownToGo never responded. That's his or her right, but without more information, we have nothing to go on but a few brief posts and then nothing.
As I recently mentioned on this thread, we're going to be hit from all sides about this product, and if the product not working for one person who won't respond to reasonable requests or even acknowledge them, then it's taking the unproven drama over to another forum. IF this is a pro-life tactic, taking it over to EI is doing the pro-lifers' work for them. If
@DownToGo was freaking out to the point that s/he couldn't respond to reasonable requests, it's still taking an as-yet unsubstantiated freak-out over to EI.
Personally, I think it's best to be patient and wait for other members here to try the product and report back if there are problems, or try it and have their names crossed out.
