I decided to CTB today using the Inert Gas Method. I believed I had set up everything perfectly(Cylinder, Regulator, Flow meter, Hose, Exit Bag) and still do. I've done the soapy water test on all connections in my equipment at least thrice(one after my attempt). I've observed no bubbles therefore I conclude none of my equipment has any leaks. Exit Bag also shows to have no signs of leak as I observe no tears. I'm using a GLAD Large Oven Bag(35*48)cm.
So, I sit on the floor. I put the bag above my head(just above my ears and eyebrows), crumple the bag to remove all the air, turn on the gas valve and set the flow meter to 15L/min. I hear a hissing sound due to the gas flowing. I'm using my laptop webcam as a mirror. I start hyperventilating and do that for 2 mins. I see the bag is no way near to being completely filled. It's still very crumpled. It takes a whooping 10 mins for the bag to fill up like a balloon as show in the PPeH.
I'm quite confused and can't explain what happened. I would imagine the volume of the bag to be not more than 30 Litres so it shouldn't take more than 2 minutes for the bag to fill up. What do you all think could have gone wrong. Luckily, I didn't went much further into my attempt(could have ended up brain damaged).
Any help would be very appreciated. I need to fix this problem and do not have much time. Thank you.
