What part of your readings are bad?

Tom

My Hybrid experience is a total flop. I tried everything, cut the flap, put in spacers, all ideas were tried.

It leaks like a sieve - unusable for me.

I'm glad it works for some.

What a waste of time, forum goodwill and resources. Participation in this forum is about learning, sharing of mutual experiences and challenges and paying it forward. We will all continue to do that. That is our nature in a forum community. For me the guest thing has NOT been a big issue. I have bee...

If you wake up with you mouth open, LOL or are mouth puffing then you might be mouth breathing.

Also, if you look at your leak data and see spikes in leak.

That elbow does not detach. I taped the flap last night but then had a power failure due to severe weather. However, I leaked heavily from the pillows. I'm not done with this mask yet but I am running out of options. I trird JRS spacers but I am still getting leaks. It may be the Hybrid will be join...

Gosh David, I didn't look that closely. I assummed it did.

Tom

I'm going to put some tape over the flap and see what happens to the leak numbers.

Maybe it's really not the flap but the pillows. I'm siprised I could sleep with a constant leak like that...

I use mine on 1 during the summer otherwise it's too hot.

. In pass thru mode I wake up choking from a dry throat.

During the winter it's Heated Hose and HH on 3 or 4.

Best to your comfort,

I'm running 75 at 10cm. Seems that is almost double, yes?

Tom

The flap seems to close but air leaks from it.

Do you have a positive closure on yours?

Also I checked with CPAP.com to see if I could get a replacement elbow and they said the only replacement parts they have (so far) are cushions and pillows.

Tom

This esteemed group is definitely sliding down a slippery slope.

That's great news. I'm not sure if the Large Leak is caused by that flap on the elbow. I know it is a safety feature but I am considering putting a piece of tape over it to make sure it's not the problem. When the pressure kicks on I hear it seal but when I put my finger in front of it there seems t...

JRS: Very interesting, nicw work. I'm looking forward to your review of your handi-work. I'm curious what kind of leak ratew you are getting with your Hybrid. Mine is at 75 and showing continuous LArge Leak where as my Activa shows 25-30 most of the time. Do you have access to leak numbers? Thanks, ...

JRS:

I think my MED fits better curve-wise but is pretty small for my mouth.

That's a good observation.

If you do the wire spacer, I'd really appreciate hearing if that accomplishes adjusting the fit.

Tom

Yes it does look ok.

But it is definitely leaking from there.

I thought I read about someone else on the forum having that issue, do you recall it?
