Thanks Den and Jim for the replys. Not knowing how long each morning it will take to clean wheel bearing grease off of my face, tonight I will start over with a clean face and a single pressure. I tried 15 and 15.5 in the beginning before APAP and my wife told me I was still snoring. I guess I will start at 16 and go from there.
Realized I needed help when I woke up halfway in the wrong lane on the highway and saw oncoming traffic trying to dodge me. Fell asleep again in <2miles.

Five nights of data at 16.5 CPAP. I can't seem to get the leaks under control at this high pressure.

Your leak rate (from the reports) really isn't all that far off of what's listed in the manual for that pressure. AND, you can't argue with the results in your "numbers". They look good.

However, the Comfortfull 2 is (in my opinion) a "torture device". I would recommend trying an Ultra Mirage Full Face (the one in my profile) or Quattro. They're much more comfortable and will stand up to higher pressures better than the CF2.

You're getting there!
