I read this thread with great interest because also have problems with mouth leak.

I am a new user (less than a year) and far from an expert, but I did get a lot of advice from the experienced users in this and another on-line forum.

My experience has been that mouth leak was worse with an EPR of 1 or 2 and when my min pr was much lower than it needed to be. Mouth leak has lessened considerably as I raised Min Pr (currently at 9) and lowered Max Pr (from 20 down to 12) and put EPR at 3.

My current Resmed setup is EPR 3, Max 12, Min 9.

For reasons of comfort, you might not be able to raise EPR. I was fortunate in that I didn't find any difference in comfort between the 1 and the 3.

Good luck.
