Ivan, maybe you breath inside the mask when compensating??

Ivan,
I had the same problem. What I ended up doing was soaking the mask in a bucket of Coca Cola over night, then scrubbing it with tooth paste a couple of times. Now before dives I just spit on it and it never fogs.

its becames fog also in the swiming pool without compensating.
I read (and write) on the italian forums im not the only one with an Alien with that problem

Yes, my alien used to fog every 5-10 minutes.
Soak it in coca cola.
Problem solved.

The coke idea is nice, cause it´s acid content. I had tried even pee with my Alien, seriously :confused1: :):) the best bet is to scrub the lenses a thousand times with thoot paste and do over again the lighter stuff.

I think Coca cola its the only thing that i dnt make yet
Thanks!
Omer saids its fog because the liquid silicon they use to make it...
It is possible that liquid silicone dnt go away with the paste that use the mechanical to take off grease, burn etc?

its a new mask from Mares, i see a lot of advertisement here, and i want to know if really works

Today i bought a Cressi Occhio plus, because i cant use the Alien any more...too fog, and i make a lot of procedures to risolve that matter and nothing....
I try today about 10 different ones, and the Cressi willbe the most confortable...
Anyones has?

hi guys.i know it might sound a bit crazy but i use profecional grill and ovin cleaner to clean the glas of the mask and it works just be sure the glas is warm or hot when you apply it on the glas and live it for a while then rinse with lots of warm water and some soup be sure there is nothig over in your mask or youll have some sirious eye problems and good bey fog.i have a micromask from tecnisub and i love it.

Spetton has the same mask. It is called "reflex". Is a silicone mask, made in Italy, not fancy, not too expensive.

They also have a camo version:

But the mask is a very personal item; the one I like, maybe doesn't fit you right.

Mine is just the same but the brand name is Nemdor. I have a couple pictures here:

Marco, is that a Riffe Standard S.G.?? Three bands and still dead on ... I keep saying Riffe is the stuff

Yeah, that's a C3X but I rarely use it anymore. Now I almost use only Rob Allens. I have a 130 open muzzle that I like a lot when the water is clear. Simple, cheap, accurate, well made, easy to move/handle.

Marco,
I agree. The RA 130 Tuna open muzzle is my favorite gun also.
How is the hand injury?

alecrin,
I agree with you also. I just started using the same mask as you, the Technisub micromask and it is now my favorite mask.
