How do you know when there is a buildup of Co2 in a mask?

You say you're exhaling more than you're inhaling? hmmm got me, and I'm serious.

Also, how do you know when there ISN'T a buildup?

If you don't modify the mask, or disconnect the XPAP, and or bury you face in a pillow co2 won't be a problem. a safety factor is built in. the info that comes with the mask gives you the needed warnings. Jim
