I don't think the polls are rigged, I Know, they are useless.. Jim

In 8 years, I have never been tempted to create a poll.
Please, somebody shoot me if I do.
Everybody is DIFFERENT.
Why is that so hard to accept?
Polls are WORTHLESS.

I use the Total Face mask. Tho, it is considered a full face mask, most folks wouldn't dare consider it a full face.... or have it in their home!

Maybe we should create a poll to see who does and who doesn't like polls?
President-pretender, J. Biden, said "the DNC has built the largest voter fraud organization in US history". Too bad they didn’t build the smartest voter fraud organization and got caught.

What good would that do POLL's are useless, The Wisdom of the Crowd, is only good if you ask a Smart Crowd. Most Crowd's are filled with Followers, Not Smart Leaders, Just Sheep trying to get their Ba!, Ba! on! Hoping by Getting their Ba! in they can count for something, failing to remember they only have ten fingers and toes! Jim

Go ahead but be prepared to duck and cover.

Some people just don't like polls or resurrecting ancient threads and are very vocal about it.

Me personally?? Never understood why people get their feathers all ruffled and I always valued the discussion they usually bring because most of it is positive and a lot of newbies probably don't have a clue how to go search for all the past polls or topics.
If I posted every time I disagreed with someone here I would have a lot more posts and bruised fingers to boot. It's not that important in the grand scheme of life if there is or isn't a poll or someone resurrects a zombie thread or not.
Don't like them...don't read them and don't participate in them. Think them useless???....well everyone is entitled to their opinion and to state their opinion but so are the others who do want to read, participate or respond. Those others get the same rights and privileges and we have to respect those thoughts even if they differ from our own.

Polls are going to happen and resurrecting zombie threads is going to happen and we might as well accept it and move on.

I use the Zzz-Mask Full Face CPAP Mask by Probasics.

I like that it does not have the forehead support, and more then anything else I like the price $59(cpap.com). Compared the price to Resmed masks this mask is half price, and the replacement cushions are about half also. The mask works well for me, but every one is different. I have high pressure settings of 23/19, and so far this mask serves me well.

Can't submit what I use since the pole will not allow me to select all three types.

I wonder...What did this poll prove that almost any of us couldn't tell you?

Thank you, Jay ~~~


I still prefer SewTired and DreamStalker's "pillow mask".
(sounds less invasive)

(...but I guess I should vote so that I don't mess up the poll.)

What other mask would anyone think is the most similar "under the nose nasal mask" design to the DreamWear?
Began XPAP May 2016. Autoset Pressure min. 8 / max 15. Ramp off. ERP set at 2. No humidity. Sleepyhead software installed and being looked at daily, though only beginning to understand the data.

It proves he didn't ask us about useless POLLs! Jim

POLL's are for Dancing, not clogging forums.

Use the Wisdom of the Crowd, but not this crowd!

I got a lot of poll responses it seems from the lurkers and not just the people who post all the time. Plus with new masks I assume that come out it's always good to get updated opinions.

Honestly I was all about FFM and this poll has shifted me to try the nasal Pillows first.
