Scuba divers, what is your favorite regulator mouthpiece? Why?
Question:I really love my Mares reg, but the mouthpiece isn't the most comfortable so I'm looking into getting a different one for it. Any recommendations?
Thanks!
P.S. I'm so sad... wetsuit season is about to end here in the midwest, and since I'm not into drysuit diving yet, unless I get to go someplace warm over the winter, diving is just about done for me until the spring... boooooo!!!

I use Sea Cure. They're kinda pricey, but really cut down on jaw fatigue. They're a custom fit, but you do the actual customizing. You place the mouthpiece in boiling water for a minute, remove it, let it cool a bit, put it in your mouth and chomp down. Hold that pose for about 10 seconds and you're done. A mouthpiece that is molded to your teeth and jaw line. Very comfy and next to no effort to keep in even if your buddy is kicking you in the face.I think there are a few others out on the market now, going by different brand names .I dunno, I've had mine for 10 years. Yup, they last that long.
Edit: What do ya know, they're still in business, heres a link http://www.seacure1.com/customiz.htm...
Edit: Lachic, if your wet suit is a 7mm, there's no reason to stop. I ice dive occassionally here in one, although I do lug my drysuit around. It just depends on the dive. It's the hands that go numb after 30 minutes, even with good gloves. :)
I have a Titan LX reg that I love. It came with a comfort fit mouth piece. It is black but the rubber is very smooth and slick. I don't hardly realize it is in my mouth. I live in Missouri and we dive year round with our wet suits. Just get you a heavy one, they are a lot cheaper than the dry suits. (even though I would love to get a dry suit). We go on a New Years day dive at Oronogo if you are interested.
