pad a cheek liner center hole

Hi all,

I just received a liner from pad a cheek for my Mirage Quattro FF. It was easy to put on but I am curious about the center hole. It seems really small. It cover most of my mouth in the mask. Is it supposed to do that? Am I supposed to cut it?

Thanks again for your feedback!

waking up at 4:30am

Hi all,

I am getting a better quality of sleep now. However, for some reason I am waking up at 4:30am. I fall asleep at about 10:30pm. 6 hours of sleep isn't bad i guess but I would like to be able to sleep till at least 6am. Does or did anyone else have this issue?

Re: questions about Vaseline on mask

Ok so I purchased lansinoh. Well I should say that I had my wife purchase it I do feel a bit weird about applying nipple cream to my face! But, if it helps me get a good nights rest then I will give it a shot.

questions about Vaseline on mask

Hi all,

I was having some leak issues so I put some Vaseline on the cushion and it worked really well. I saw on this forum that vaseline breaks down the mask. Is that the case and is there anything else you would recommend?

Not sure if my mask is leaking or not

Hi all, I have been waking up more refreshed on most days now. So that is good news. However there are some mornings when I am still lagging and I feel like I could sleep for the entire day. I am wondering if it's because my mask is leaking and I don't know it. I have been using the Quietus mask lin...

can you use cpap.com for dme?

I just ordered something from cpap.com and noticed that they take insurance. From the good posts on this site about them I am wondering if I could just use them as my DME.

heated tubing

Hi all, I think I am going to purchase the climate line tube for the s9. With a heated cord do you have to keep the machine lower or tube raised? Also, I have the s9 escape. It's not one of the fancier ones. It is an s9 so I am assuming it takes the climate line but I just wanted to verify. Oh and d...

Re: ff mask and sore throat

Hey thanks for asking. No it's not yet. I cut up an old sweater and wrapped it around the tube. I am debating whether or not to raise the humidity. If I do and I get leaks then I will be futzing with the mask in the middle of the night and it will keep my wife and 11 month old up. If I don't I will ...

Re: ff mask cant take humidity

Hey guys, thanks for taking the time to post your comments! I am not really sure if it's rain out. I didn't see any condensation in the mask. My machine isn't lower then my head, however I have the tube on a home made hose hanger. My machine is the s9 escape. I was also using the quietus liner. It s...

ff mask cant take humidity

Hi all,

I have now tried two ff masks. Both have a terrible seal if the humidity is set above 1.5. The seal is great with a lower humidity but then I have a sore throat that lasts through the day. Any suggestions on how to deal with this?
