Gasper62: Since you've lowered our disagreement to crude name-calling then here's my reply. If I'm Sir Bozo then I suggest you are Gasbag62

Usually I try never to pursue a battle of wits with an unarmed man, however in your case I'll make an exception.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.

I have not been able to wear most full face masks, due to a face that is not flat enough for the mask designers.
Most masks miss my chin when I relax my jaw.
I was unable to use the Hybrid because of a torus on the outer surface of my right jaw.
The Comfortgel blue would work, except the headgear is so large it requires aggressive re-engineering.
I tried the small Respironics headgear, which was ridiculously too small. (Must be a pediatric headgear)
My leak rates are almost consistently above the happy 24, though the red frowny does not appear until leak passes 40.
Taping results in no change in leak rate.
We all do what works, and hope it's good enough.
Absolutely ! I feel very fortunate that I am able to manage my apnea as well as I do, and really feel bad for everyone that's having a rough time of it ! My only point was that I was disappointed when I lost the ability to use the minimal nasal masks/pillows that were so comfortable compared to my FFM. My large leaks are an enigma to me, 3 nights in a row they'll be 0% the next, 56% ! WTF ? Anyway.... I'm really not sure why someone felt the need to hand-wring and comment about how they feel.... about how I feel, regarding my therapy status. I can only hope that he has had a good cry....... and has now regained some composure. < green, frog-friendly emoticon
