Re: Dry Mouth and Throat

I have that mask. If I'm not mistaken you should be seeing total leaks with 90% range of 40-somthing or below, depending on your pressure settings. You're averaging 67 liters/min, with your 90% reading at 85.40 liters/min. I could be wrong, but I think that means you're large leaking most of the ni...
