I have been using the Oracle for about a year now and love it. I use the nose plugs and have never taped them. I do try to seat them by blowing through your nose with short puffs, they tend to expand and then catch when I do that. I run @ 11 hope that helps.

Possiblly the pressure needs to be adjusted. I went from a FF to the Oracal II and needed to lower mine back down.

I used to clean mine everyday but have not cleaned it for atleast 5 months now. I use distilled water most of the time and I just fill it up and never dump it unless I am traveling. No crud yet.

I have a PUR water filter so I had to use that a couple of nights. I seem to be twitching alot (not really) No problems as of yet.

If I recall right, you pinch in the tabs. But mine broke so I epoxied it, then the rest broke so now I am doing the Oracal II. I think I will go back to the Comfortful mask. Also thinking about the Hans Rudolf, but with no insurance I will probablly go back with what works.

I have looked on several sites and no luck. Ant reason cpap.com doesn't sell them. I rather keep my buisness with them.

I just wish I didn't have to go through a DME to get one of your masks. I have heard some good things about your FF and am thinking of getting a new FF. I had a Resperonics Comfortfull and it worked well untill it started to break up.

I had the Resp. Comfortfull and it worked well for me. As it wore out I went to the Oracle II, and am thinking of getting another Comfortfull FF. I sleep on my side and back and have found that if you put it on a little loose it seals better.

The higher in elevation, the less pressure you will have. Where in Co.? I am in Falcon just east of Colorado Springs.

You may want to try a full face mask. I went from a FF to the Oracle II and I think I am going back to the FF. I will keep the Oracle for a back up, but with it I think I will have to get up around 5:00am to clear my sinus's and drink some water. With the FF I slept all night untill the alarm went o...

May want to check your comfortfull for leaks around the mask where the membrane attatches to the mask. I noticed mine started to leak there and became very loud. Duct tape made it a lot quieter.
