Re: Bleep/DreamPort nasal mask review thread

Hello all: If this has been answered I apologize as I didn't read every single post. After 8 masks I finally am getting good numbers with the Tap Pap Nasal Pillows hat has the upper tray for your teeth. I have scalp apnea so I love that there is no headgear. So I have been waiting for the Bleep to ...

Re: New User's First Post, Sleepy in GV's therapy thread

Good Morning! I went to bed early, couldn't wait to see if we fixed the leak. I also put a new filter snugly up against the vents, from the top. (First time I went from the bottom, so it had to be larger to get over the connector piece and it never fit snugly, thus just got bent over and made too mu...

Re: New User's First Post, Sleepy in GV's therapy thread

I took it apart and back together again with Pugsy's help. Thank you for the idea Jas, that seems like the most likely culprit.

I am also going to get a new diffuser right up next to the vents. Going back over to the bleep thread to see how Palerider made the cuts.

Thanks everyone!

Re: New User's First Post, Sleepy in GV's therapy thread

it is all blowing straight down from where the vents are. That's why I'm having such a hard time figuring out what is going on. I can't separate the vent air from where the leak is. If it is a leak. Has to be, right? :?: Well, the vents do blow a lot of air, that's why I've got the spare filter stu...

Re: New User's First Post, Sleepy in GV's therapy thread

It sounds to me that the vent piece is not properly inserted into the silicone can you pull it off remove it then pop it back on there is a slot on the edge of the vents that the silicone piece slots into maybe post a photo of your mask here and we can see if we can see anything obvious You just mi...

Re: New User's First Post, Sleepy in GV's therapy thread

What you describe being you have to manually hold the mask up against your face with some pressure on it to stop the noise....I have had that happen and I always thought it was related to the placement of the little arms in between the dots but I haven't really tested it myself. I wake up to look a...

Re: New User's First Post, Sleepy in GV's therapy thread

So if you hear noise...and it's not vent bounce back...it's gotta be from something not connected properly. Do you have a spare ResMed filter that is NOT hypoallergenic kind...just the mesh airy one??? Are you using any sort of diffuser? The fact that you hear the noise bothers me more than the lit...

Re: New User's First Post, Sleepy in GV's therapy thread

You didn't delete the right amount of inner quoted bits. When you wake up, listen for any leaks, if it's going to leak because the tape is coming loose, it'll do it then most likely. I had air blowing in my left eye one morning, and found that the tape on the right side, up the bridge of my nose, h...

Re: New User's First Post, Sleepy in GV's therapy thread

Here's last night. I stayed up watching TV for 36 minutes. In that time, I think I took it on and off twice to try to deal with the noise. Once I went to "bed" ie to try to sleep, because I was already in bed, I took it off maybe twice more. I felt around a lot with it on and because there is so muc...

Re: New User's First Post, Sleepy in GV's therapy thread

Mask Pressure OR pressure, (preferably pressure) not both please. They're redundant at a full night zoom, and cause the other charts to be unnecessarily squished. BUT, the only problem I keep having is my leaks are always so big. Where? You might notice that the y axis autoscales, look at the legen...

Re: New User's First Post, Sleepy in GV's therapy thread

Are you sleeping through that leak??? If you are....shrug your shoulders and move on. It's not enough to mess with. But just to make sure you don't have a lemon...let's do a test while awake...right before bedtime tonight if you can so you don't have to burn a set of ports. Attach everything...make...

Re: New User's First Post, Sleepy in GV's therapy thread

I'm not certain if I should be posting these questions here or in the Bleep review thread. Let me know if I need to move them over. I've been diligently trying to get my bleep to not leak, two clicks, aligned arms, air blowing only in the right area, etc. My numbers are definitely moving in the righ...
