I sold it at a huge discount to another forum member, whose threshold of pain is much higher than mine.
I found the chintrap to be uncomfortable, not painful, when wearing it with the mask. So I stopped wearing the chinstrap even if this caused higher leaks (mostly b/c of open- mouth leaks). The S9 machines can perform OK even if the unintentional leak rises to twice the limit of 24 Liter/minute. So why suffer?
