ff mask cant take humidity

Post by pbsd » Wed Jan 12, 2011 6:47 am

Hi all,

I have now tried two ff masks. Both have a terrible seal if the humidity is set above 1.5. The seal is great with a lower humidity but then I have a sore throat that lasts through the day. Any suggestions on how to deal with this?

Do you have a hose cover? What kind of machine and hose do you have?

Hey guys,

thanks for taking the time to post your comments! I am not really sure if it's rain out. I didn't see any condensation in the mask. My machine isn't lower then my head, however I have the tube on a home made hose hanger. My machine is the s9 escape. I was also using the quietus liner. It seems like the mask cushion just gets flimsy if there is to much moisture. Does that make sense?

I use baby shampoo for the mask and I wash my face with pump hand soap.
