hose keeps coming off mask
It is a mirage quatro and a remstar-auto a flex. How can I fix?

I will beat this if I have to go down to 140 pounds with 6% bodyfat. I will beat it!

Hmmnn, I have the same gear but not the problem. Is the hose old? I got a three pack of respironics hoses on ebay for $12
If you are tugging at it hard enough to unplug it, maybe you should read up on hose management here on cpaptalk.com - some cheap and some elegant ways to keep the mask from getting tugged on while you sleep. I am using the Hoser. You can find the commercial products on cpap.com, but as I said, lots of home made options.

Re: hose keeps coming off mask
That is strange. My hoses won't come off unless I'm doing some rocking and pulling. They really should be snug...

Re: hose keeps coming off mask
Yeah, the flange for the hose is slightly smaller than the connector so I have to rock it back and forth to get it on. Perhaps you have a cheap hose that doesn't have that kind of rubber connector? I have been using mine since Oct and have never pulled it loose. I have, however, pulled on the hose hard enough to dump the machine off the step stool I am using .
