Recently bought the Black Max being down here in Tampa and wanted to fight the humidity. In using it I have found that when I pull the hose/ plug out of the breather tube after using it a fairly sizable amount of water comes out of the tube. I estimate it to be about an ounce to an ounce and a half. It seems to be sitting on the top of the breather tube plug. It seems to happen within a day, as the same amount of water comes out if flown the next day or a week later. The unit seems to be running fine by the lights on the unit, etc and I make sure to place the plug above the breather tube vent. I am just wondering if this is normal or perhaps there is an issue with the unit? Has anyone seen anything like this?

Thanks!
