Your mask is giving you the kiss of life all night long.

Eventually you will learn how to sleep all night being kissed by the kiss of life.

That’s a great description. You can’t deny the truth in it.

Oh I see how the fine mesh of fleece would muffle the sound of the leak, good point. I’m new to all this but even when a system is working perfectly, is it still an ‘Open system’ in that the inhaled and exhaled air is mixed within the mask and also exhausts from holes on the mask and nasal appliance...

ChunkyFrog, Im thinking that if volume is an issue then it’s not hard to run 2 or 3 HMEs if it turns out to be a simpler technique to getting distilled water and refilling a reservoir. It would take some experimenting to get it right but if inspired air is 12% Humidity and exhaled air is 100% it wou...

Thank you.

Thanks chunky frog, I understand the need for customisation especially when it’s a daily routine to get things ‘just right’. Yes I read a lot about people becoming allergic or reacting to the silicone, latex, whatever on their skin so fleece is a great idea. I can see that the least invasive the mor...

From a lot of posts there’s a lot of things that aren’t right with FFM, nasal varieties, straps. If you could design a perfect breathing appliance, what would it do or not do ? Doesn’t have to be humanly possible, just your wish list. I’ve just started on my CPAP journey so it’s of great interest to...

Kurth83, that’s amazing that you’ve customised your masks. Very ingenious.
