    I have a Exped PillowPump that gets used on down and fiber filled mats, but now I have a KookaBay on the way that I don't want to inflate by mouth, to avoid the condensation issue.

    After staring intently at the PillowPump for a while I realized that the business end, made for fitting Exped gear, has (had) a 1 mm lip on the inside.

    PP Hack

    With some careful Exacto work I removed most of the lip, and now a standard ThermaRest valve fits snugly inside.

    There is a small mystery move needed to close the valve, but with a mat, a little softness, or One breath, will probably be OK.
