not a happy camper any more

the ff mask means I have to wake up several times an hour to scratch the side of my nose, or upper lip or where ever that the mask covers that starts itching like heck. The breeze just wont stay on my head and had rainout issues even with no heat on the humidifer. The aura, fits nice, is comfortable...

I wasnt bragging about anything. It aint that kind of big. No touching the tip of my nose with it or any of that nonsense. No use for it but getting in my way. That tongue sectioning surgery...does that kill the taste buds? I know those are along the sides and tip, mostly..but ..does it kill the ner...

tongue issue

Hihi all y'all. I may have posted this before, or maybe I've just been thinkin it real loud ..not sure. So if this is a repeat of an older question, slap me. My tongue is too big for my mouth (and I have a really big mouth ) I have a mouth that is sufficiently large that I still have all my wisdom t...

With that mask you have, there's alot you can try to adjust fit. If you loosen or tighten the crown strap on your head gear, you can change to angle of the straps accross your face. You might want to try making the straps pull at a more upward angle rather than straight accross the side of your face...

Is the problem that your card reader doesnt seem to read the cards at all? I had terrible problems getting my card reader to work until I got the driver install package someone posted about here.

I thought either my cards or my reader were broken but it turns out they was fine

Dont forget the Flexifit fits under the chin and not just over the mouth and nose. You can use a chin strap with the Flexifit to help seal the bottom half better if you have leaks there, and that also helps to keep the mask from bearing down on the bridge of your nose so hard. I had to do some trim ...

I started out with a full face mask and had belly bloat issues from day one, so I dont think that option will necessarily address that problem.

One thing you might want to consider when looking at machines is whether or not it has the ability to provide you with daily sleep data. I have found that having the ability to see, day to day, what's actually going on while I sleep has taken alot of the mystery out of the process. It is very helpfu...

about the heated hose thing. How long do those hold up and how do you clean em? Can you flush soap and water down em like normal hoses? Will a aussie heated hose hold up for a full year of use? I cant really afford spending that kind of cash out of pocket on a regular or semi-regular basis. I think ...

I put the chin strap on like normal. The bottom part that goes under the chin I place so it's halfway on the mask and halfway on skin. That way, all the pressure is on the full bottom half of the gasket forcing it to seal better. When I do that I can repossition all the straps to a bit looser of a f...

Got my Breeze the other night

Ok, I have played traitor to my original clan (the FF Mask Clan) and am now attempting to weezle my way into the Clan of the Nasal Pillow. I know, I'm evil but, hey, as long as I end up comfortable, I can deal with that. Observations after 2 days. Day 1: this thing (the nasal interface) just dont fi...

I had the very same issue with my ff mask. just getting the mask close to my face would kick off itch fests lol.

I got a nasal pillow set up (breeze) and am currently going thru the adustment process for that. Not sure if I'm happy yet but at least I dont have to deal with the nose itch fight.

Another benifit of USB is you can buy a USB hub, hook that to your computer and have the hub where it's handy to plug devices into. It's also alot safer to hot swap USB devices. Meaning, you could unplug your card reader and plug in your camera to that slot, if needed, and not risk damage to your de...

No, really! Honest! I have the FlexiFit 431 ff mask as a starter. I've been rehabing my sinus' and am ready to try nasal pillows so I purchased a nose hole measurer to see what size pillows to get... and got a chin strap at the same time. Now I've got the chin strap, and a ff mask... sooo me being m...
