That sucks! I wouldn't mess with glue either. Even tape. That stuff outgasses for ages and you don't want it in you system... Definitely write the seller. It might be buyer beware, but implicit in the listing is the idea that the product is not broken or unusable. It might be an honest mistake too....

I did contact the seller, and he said he will send me a $25 refund, which is what I figured a replacement elbow part would cost, after doing a quick search. Most of the time it looks that you have to buy the entire elbow unit, for $40 or more. I might not be able to find just the one part I need, it...

I wouldn't want to smell glue all night myself.
Just to set your mind at ease - it wasn't you, I double-checked

DUCT TAPE! Haven't a clue, but I do commiserate with you. To flip it - maybe the seller was too dumb to know that the reason the mask leaked and didn't work for him was the crack? Wish you all the luck!!! I hate bad deals... Barbara I mean to ask him, before stating that anything is wrong, if the r...

bought a Resmed Ultra mask on ebay, one part cracked

I ws so happy to get a slightly used bargain Resmed Ultrea full face mask on ebay. It arrived and everything looked great. I tested it this afternoon and found it was leaking badly. I found that that one of the two plastic tabs of the valve elbow is cracked, thus it isn't holding the valve membrane ...

I want to thank everyone for their very helpful advice. Tonight I am going back to having the exhaust port in thw wrong way. The three nights where I had it in the right way were just terrible. It could be due to other factors, but I just wanted things to be back the way they were.

just looked at mine, seems it would be pretty hard to install it backwards, but I guess it could be done. It installs from the outside. on mine, the silicone flap in the center of the horseshoe is on the outside at the top, the exhaust holes are tapered with the larger diameter of the holes on the ...

Ultra Mirage FF - exhaust port plastic thingy question

First off, I wish I knew about this forum 15 months ago when I first started using CPAP. I browsed through posts the other day, and saw one concerning the problem of a whistling sound in the Resmed Ultra Mirage FF mask. It was pointed out by one poster that he had inserted the plastic exhaust port p...
