Re: 3rd night using Mirage Liberty

I didnt mind the liberty so much. I used it for three months until last week. The first few time I wore it, I would knowck out a nose piece and air would shot straight at my eyeball. That sucked... actually blew...LOL. I didnt like the small 9" hose.... it seems to get hard after awhile and you will...

Re: how to get rid of "gunk" in Liberty nasal pillows?

Re: How did the new FullLife stack up against the Quattro: PC11

Well damn! LOL I have been on the fulllife for about 6 nights now. 2 of them I didnt wear it letting my nose heal. he sad part is, the lower 95% of this mask is incredible! I cant get it to leak and is very comfortable. However, the upper 5% with the nose bridge issue and hard to seal (stay sealed) ...

Fulllife mask cushions for trade..

Ok folks... I picked up the fulllife the other day.. the dme gave me the fit pak. So right now it looks like I have a small (not opened) and a large that was tried on once for sizing. I will trade either for a medium if some of you are in the same boat. I just would like to wait about 2 weeks to mak...

Re: so I got the fulllife mask...

I am a few nights in... not to bad. I have tried mask with and without the moleskin. Definately needs it, to help seal as well as well as protect. Without it, it generated some very minor, however annoying leaks blowing into the eyes with any movement. I did learn though the itchyness I was experien...

Re: FullLife Mask - Bridge Beater

good info... my fulllife should be in any day now. I like the idea of the moleskin.... however, why not just go completely around if going half way? Just a thought..

also, how easy does the moleskin come off the rubber for cleaning and stuff?

thanks

Re: Any military veterans use VA health care ?

good post to read. I will be using VA soon. I will have tricare prime (post retirement) but from what I understand, their are fees (20%'ish) associated with tricare and sleep apnea. But with the VA, totally free. The good thing for me is, I am already diagnosed for CPAP usage and the only thing (hop...
