Bad Experience

Had a cold for the past three days so decided to get out the Ultra Mirage. I cranked up the humidity to 5, the highest setting on my REMstar Autoflex. When I put the mask on before going to sleep I had a perfect seal and the headgear fit nicely. I woke up at about 4:00 AM with major leakage and it seemed like the headgear had loosed up majorly. Somehow all the humidity had coated my face and made a good seal impossible. There was no saving the situation so I just took off the mask and woke up with a headache for my trouble.

Anybody familiar with this? Any handlings, or just keep the humidity lower.

I find that when I am mouth breathing, my mouth goes dry even with highest humidity.

This is another reason I through the Ultra Mirage Full Face mask across the room.

You cannot keep a seal with moisture, oil nothing.

Good Luck.
