Twisted arms 180 degrees. Aha. Silent. So, there is a difference here
I bet that if you'd just disconnected and reconnected, it'd have been silent... (at least, that's how it works for me).

I assume so. Its not easy to make lots of little things all the same shape. That is why lego bricks cost so much.Jas_williams wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2019 2:41 pmManufacturing discrepancies ?katestyles wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2019 1:57 pmWith further science - (I can out alien your aliens) it would appear I have a non-symmetrical plastic clip.

Re: Two nights - what?
One of the little clips doesn't look quite identical to the other one. Ever so slight of a difference and near as we can tell the leak (which is very small but annoying) seems to be coming from that area outward at a 90 degree angle.
We have some other experiments to try and we will also get some replacement clips sent out just in case.
Won't hurt to try some other experiments anyway while awaiting the new clips.
At her pressures everything little thing becomes a big thing unfortunately.

Re: Two nights - what?
Last night.
Sleepyhead is not importing, so I got a resscan.
I lashed the port into the leaky clip, and had a leak free night. I woke rather violently with gastric reflux - that is no fun when your mouth is firmly taped!
All in all, I would say the aliens must have been busy with Zonker.

They got both me and djams last night too. The leak monster visit my house while the aerophagia alien was visiting djams.

Nothing worse. For me, the PAP pressure transfers some of that reflux into my lungs which causes an extended coughing fit. I feel you here. Yuk!katestyles wrote: ↑Mon Mar 25, 2019 4:58 amI woke rather violently with gastric reflux - that is no fun when your mouth is firmly taped!
Congrats on that leak line!
