Re: Confusion about large leaks and flow limits
Thanks, Palerider and Pugsy. I think I will try the mouth tape again. If the chart is not better I won't bother anymore.

Re: Confusion about large leaks and flow limits
Well, I used two layers of mouth tape, switched from For Her to Regular mode, and added EPR at 1. My leaks are still high but lower than they have been, and the flow limits are less too. The second chart is to show a day before I made these changes.
I'm thinking I'll go to EPR at 3, hoping that the flow limits will be better yet. Can you think of anything else I should try?

I think I have gotten things as good as I can get them. Last night is my chart after I double-taped my mouth and jumped EPR to 3. Look at the difference! My flow rate and leak rate both look a lot better.
