Aura question

Post by MarquisdeStyle » Tue May 03, 2005 12:25 pm

Hi, all you other Aura users!
I have a really stupid question, but am stumped. Several times during the night, when I'm wearing my Aura, I wake up feeling a very gentle breeze over my top lip. I feel for leaks, and there is nothing around the pillows at all. I have felt down along the soft tube that the pillows attach to, and can's seem to find any kind of a hole or tear. I have watched for water leaks when cleaning, and still...nothing. What on EARTH could be causing this weird breeze?? The vent aims up, way high on my forehead, so it doesn't seem possible that the vent is the issue. Any ideas??

I thought I was having some leaks until I realized that I was getting some "blowback" effect from the venting of air from the mask. The vented air was being deflected by my pillow or blanket onto my face making me believe the mask was leaking..

Thanks. Maybe that is what is happening. I am pretty much on my back most of the night, but I could be on my side, with the pillow deflecting when I wake up, and just naturally flip on my back before I am fully awake. Will investigate further tonight!
