Mirage Swift II Nasal Pillow System Leak Problems?

Post by Flying_Norseman » Sat Sep 22, 2007 8:39 am

I have started to notice a few leak problems with this mask. Namely, the side that you put the little blue plug in and to a lesser extent the side where the hose connects. I really like the mask, but it is a bit annoying to adjust that little blue cap all the time. By rotating it I can usually get the leak to stop. Anyone else just seal this off? If so, how did you do it?

Hi Ed.

I have noticed that too. I have them pretty loose. It is comfortable, but I still get leaks from the plugged end sometimes.
