I just received this mask from my DME yesterday and didn't go 10 mins in bed before the elbow popped loose. I thought maybe I was missing a gasket or something but it just pops loose (without pressing those little release tabs). Pulled out my nasty old trusty Mirage Quattro

If I use electrical tape around the tip of the elbow where it meets the mask, I've found that it eliminates the leaks. Being careful not to tape up too far on the elbow so that it will still click into the mask. However, I have to re-tape every night.
