Not getting enough air

RE: Not getting enough air
Not getting enough?

Oh. You were talking about air.

8 cm is the lowest I can tolerate. Feel smothered otherwise.

I don't think breathing through a constricted apparatus is comparable to the -0- pressure you reference when breathing open air. As it is constricted, it has to be pushing air faster than you inhale in order to not smother you. And I doubt the 6 CM referenced is really 6 cm while you inhale. I kind of get what you are saying, but think of it this way. Breathing through a soda straw no problem. Breathing through a coffee stirrer straw is problem. unless you pressurize the air in the coffee stirrer beyond a certain point.
