I recommend distilled. There is a lot of pro and con both ways, but distilled will not leave mineral deposits inside your humidifier and is relatively low cost. You will be very impressed with your card reader. I read mine every day, as I am still trying to get my AHI's down. I was just reading where a lady applies ear silicone to her mask to prevent any leaks. I will research this one, because me and the leak factor are not best friends. If I get to to secure and not blow in my eyes, my lower under the mouth area is so dang tight it give me a headache. Masks are the number one problem with pap-ers as far as I have read. Tonight I am going to nasal with tape on my mouth. Therefore I am killing two birds with one stone. Quiet time for my hubby, and sleep time for me. Our house is suffering from too many machines. lol Wonder if they make em for dogs yet. Stay in touch.

Adjustments may take some time, but eventually it will all work out. I will be online most of the time during the day tomorrow is you have any questions. I many definitely not be able to answer then, but my hubby definitely will. He knows all this forward and backward.

Nite

Tylerrose, here is the link on using Mack's Silicone Ear Plugs. You can get them from most pharmacies.
