can you have

Post by whatrdreamsmadeof » Sat Oct 07, 2006 12:21 pm

i am wondering, can you be mouth breathing even if your lcd reads, leak 0.00.? Could that account for ahi going up? or does leak 0.00 mean you are getting a great seal and not mouth breathing........I am trying to cover all the bases in finding out why i can't seem to get my pressure right,,,,,,,,,thanks
