av leak 40.0
av large leak 0 mins

stats on the swift II:
Av max leak 91.9
av 90 percent leak 53.0
av leak 46.6
av large leak 0 mins.

ok stats on the comfort full ff mask:
av max leak 91.6
av 90 percent leak 53.0
av leak 46.7
av large leak 0 mins

average ahi is always about 1.7 or so. I think my original nasal mask is the best for leaks and in general is more comfortable anyway. Not sure what else to do

Are you cleaning your mask daily? Make sure the mask and your face are squeaky clean. I have also found that a weekly vinegar and water soak seems to refresh the seal and makes it 'stayput' better.
When I do have a leak I use one finger to place a tiny bit of pressure on the leaking area to see if it stops, I work my way around the mask until I find the spot that fixes the leak, then I adjust the strap closest to that point. It has always worked for me.

I get up 15 mins early every day to wash the mask so yeah it's clean and I"m obsessive about my face being clean too. So that's not the issue. I think my face just isn't shaped right for these things
