Hello, after reading some of these posts I am more curious than ever to try Brava. The thing is I cannot spend 1,000$ cad on the system. After much research , I have a question for experienced brava users;

Can i purchase the brava domes separately
Buy an airlock
And use a regular sports bra?

From what I hear the airlock is better anyways, and I would prefer to use it.
Does this seem like it could work, or is there a peice that i'm missing?

Thanks!!
I've even looked on ebay for brava sets, but i don't like the idea of buying it used, and new sets i would still end up paying 1,000$ with shipping and taxes

i dont understand how an air lock works:
if you're sucking air out of a tube that goes in your dome, wouldnt the air get out when you take the tube out? and where can i buy an air lock, i checked on ebay by typing "air lock" but i got no responses.

thanks

a pair of new Brava domes, an airlock and a large sports bra is all you need. I strongly recommend using new domes because that would cause less skin problems. I would also recommend using no-sting skin prep before putting domes on, or you WILL have skin problems. I don't know if you could use other products, but no-sting skin prep has been the only thing that helped me with skin problems.

you will not remove the tubes connecting to the domes after sucking air out. at the end of these tubs are a check valve that keeps air from leaking out.

If you type "Airlock Brava" you could easily found auctions for airlocks from ebay.

becase the domes are supposed to be used with a smart box (or whatever its called), are there going to be holes already in the domes or will i have to create them?

Hi, the domes have a small inlet valve at the bottom where you attach the plastic tube onto, whether you have the smart box or not. The tubes supplied with Brava are T shaped but from reading here you could easily get the tubing from either Walmart if you're US or maybe a good pet shop in UK which supplies aquarium products . I understand you need a airlock valve to connect onto the tubing at the end you suck and a T joint where you would connect the 2 tubes from the domes into the airlock. I suppose you could buy the tubing, cut it in half and have 2 airlock valves which would be just as effective.

I hope this helps , have a look at the ones on Ebay just to see how it all works.

cheers Lynn

You can also buy an:airlock" at walmart- its called a check valve for about $2.00 available in the fish tank section. To keep the air tight use rubber cement on the end of the tube that you insert the valve into. The t stem is also available there hope that helps
