Camel Back bite valve will it fit Dakine Bladder?

So the dakine bladder stock bite valve requires more biting pressure than i like since i'm used to the soft camel back valves.

Can I replace my Dakine bladder bite with a camel back, plug and play style?

I would change the whole bladder to camelback but as its in my Nomad backback I would have to rewire the whole thing in each time, at the moment I simply clip the base of bladder into tube which stays in place.

I have a Dakine (Drafter) pack and a Camelbak (HAWG) and the tubes are the same size, so it's possible to interchange the bite valves on my two.

I've just done this as it happens. The camelbak one I used (a few years old) was slightly too short for the dakine valve. It works but the bit you bite is very close to the plastic valve inside. I'm not explaining it well. The answer is it works but only just and it's not perfect!

i may just go camelback bladder and live with the hassle of rewiring it through the nomad every ride :?
