Activa mask with Cflex problems

Last month I purchased an Activa mask after reading all the positive posts here. I have a RemStar Pro2 with CFlex machine. I have only tried the mask on a couple of times. When the Cflex lets up on the pressure I can feel the mask sink against my face. When the pressure goes back to normal the mask presses against my face. I find this to be very annoying so I have never really used the mask. Has anyone else experienced the same problem? To me it feels like someone is constantly pushing against my face. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Scott.

Scott,

What CFLEX setting ?

If 3 try dropping to 2 and then 1 & see how much that helps. (I find 3 too much).

Also what is your cms pressure ?

Cheers

It's supposed to have give - that is how the seal works - like a bellows. It makes you not have to strap the thing tpp tight to your face to achieve a seal.

I know exactly what you're describing. The first time I used it I thought it was pretty weird but then I grew to kind of like the feeling...it didn't hurt me at all. Try using the mask for a few nights and I think you'll learn to like it a lot too.

Yes, I experienced that too, so on the nights I use the Activa mask, I turn off the C-Flex. (I have no difficulty exhaling against 10-12cms.)
