There is simply too much movement caused by the extra lubrication.) I personally think the cup diameter might be too big, the bigger the diameter the more room for moisture build-up right? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks.
What mouthpiece size are you playing now? It will make a world of difference if you get a mouthpiece thats a couple sizes smaller...not to mention how it will improve your endurance!
