To update, I tried the ResMed F20 Air Touch was a disaster for me. I had the worst leaks I've ever had & they were so prolonged (30 seconds or longer) that my machine went to autoshut off. This happened 6 times last night according to Oscar. This is worse than my current mask and I felt terrible this morning. This experience was so bad, I've decided I won't use it again. (Unfortunate as I found it comfortable to wear and easy to put on and off but because of the poor fit and leaks for me, it renders my apap therapy ineffective.)

I've spoken to the vendor & I'm exchanging the mask for a Fisher & Paykel Vitera which according to the research I've done, has a good reputation & reviews for stopping leaks. It will take a bit of time to arrive (they quarantine the returned mask 5 days because of covid before doing the exchange. In the meantime, I've returned to my original mask until the Vitera arrives.
