I use the comfortcurve, and I find it to be a comfortable mask, however when you use a higher pressure like say 12cm or more it cant hold a seal without help, unfortunately the modifications needed require a strap around the neck, but if your pressure is low or you want to try the mods here is the l...

I still can't export my encore data to this site, ive...

I think Ill try the ComfortGel But I...
