Dang, I
never get those pesky decimal points right! I get days of the week wrong too!
Yeah, what you said is what I meant, Jer. Thanks for the catch!! Bless your heart!

Ok, so here's some leak data on the Breeze venting from EncorePro for this week. If I am reading this right the 90% leak is a little high and the avg leak is a little low.
My AHI was 2.1
Tube is 16" long
90% leak-26.2
Avg leak-17.5
90% Press-10.3
Avg Press-9.5

As you say, 17.5 may be slightly low. Mine is usually about 20 l/m at 9 cm pressure, but that includes slight mask leakage at the pillows.
Seems close enough to me. So, you are using 1/4" O.D. thin wall plastic tubing and forcing it into the vent hole.
I'll head down to ACE Hardware tomorrow and get a piece of tubing and give it a try tomorrow night.
Thanks,
Jerry
