You can adjust the breathing effort required from the air flow adjuster or even further from the internal hose port to essentially make the mask almost free flow or breath very easy even from the slightest suction while unconscious. So while unconscious, nitrogen will still be flowing slightly or rapidly depending on adjustment. Exhalation shouldn't be an issue as well however there probably will be some resistance. Exhalation should occur either way when pressure builds up in the mask. If the ocean reef Neptune 3 can't be adjusted which is highly unlikely as I am sure you can, you can use those full face masks that require seperate 2nd stage regulators to cable tie them into the mouthpiece. The 2nd stage regulators can easily be adjusted for minimal breathing resistance or you can essentially make them slightly free flow or completely in the mask. Remove the hose port on the second stage and adjust it using a flat screw driver, make small turns every time. I would recommend a top of the line regulator with minimal breathing resistance like the Scubapro D420 or A700 etc. I'm doing the same method but I plan on unaliving myself underwater far offshore using a jet ski and clipping myself to 50kg dive weights in a cave. I'll never be found. I am afraid of being cut up in the autopsy. I'm a scuba diver and own the A700 regulator. So this is coming from experience.
Can someone please provide an answer to this? Scuba is also my method, but this question is very worrying.

That's the thing I don't know if shallow breathing would continue to trigger the demand valve and I would be able to breathe unconsciously, chatGPT says the mask is not designed for unconscious breathing. The co2 that's not cleared could cause me to wake up. I know Gasmonkey seemed to have no problem, but I want to make sure because I don't want this method failing on me.

I don't really know since I don't have it in front of me. It seems if it was put together with this "crack pressure" valve, the valve could by removed and somehow fitted with something to take it's place and accept a hose/tube from a flowmeter. For that matter, a small hole could be made into the mask and a tube from a flowmeter stuck through it and sealed. There's always a way. Just depends on your level of motivation, creativity, fortitude, and skill. I may be a little biased because I can make just about anything I need and have done so many times. And I do have equipment/machinery to make "things". I'd probably either make some kind of adapter for the inlet, or modify something already in the market. Or, like I said, seal off the inlet and just drill a hole and insert the hose/tubing from a flowmeter.

Your answers are reassuring. I also want to use the scuba method; I already have the adapter.
The mask we're talking about is the Ocean Reef Neptune 3. I think it's an on-demand flow, not a continuous flow.

That's a hard question to answer. I don't know how to answer it. SN, following protocol, and allowing for enough undisturbed time seems highly reliable to me. News accounts, especially from GB, seem to indicate it is highly reliable. On the other hand, there's been 2 recent, high(er) profile ctbs with gas, Vizzy & GasMonkey, one verified (Vizzy - saw pictures), both using on-demand gas.
If I were going to speak from my "gut" about this gas topic at hand, I'd have to say that this "issue" we've been discussing *may* be overblown some, and may not be an issue at all. Ofc, I can't know for sure as I've never tried it (and failed, but lived to tell about it). Idk. They're executing people in the US left and right now using nitrogen, and there's been more than just GasMonkey and Vizzy here who have "anecdotally" utilized the method to assumed success. It's highlighted in the PPH as a peaceful, reliable method. I think we would have heard something if the on-demand option was problematic in the delivery of enough gas to get the job done coupled with CO2 concerns.
Honestly, I think both methods are amongst the best of a lot of bad options. I just don't know how to single out one over the other as being "better".
