So, I recently bought a philips wisp mask because of my beard. I had been using an F&P ESON mask combined with a philips system one, with moderately good results. The only problem was, it would leak a little bit whenever I turned onto my side.
I have spent two nights with the wisp, now, with terrible results. The exhalation seems much more difficult, and I wake up in the morning with dry mouth. This tells me that it is so difficult to exhale through my nose, I am giving up in my sleep and exhaling through my mouth.
I am aware that both the wisp and the system one are philips masks, and there is a setting in the system one to adjust the pressure based on the mask being used. When using a wisp in conjunction with a system one, is there some setting i should change? Otherwise I am going to have to return the wisp!
Need help adjusting to the wisp

There is the System One Resistance Control setting but that isn't going to fix your problem with the Wisp.CzechCzar wrote:I am aware that both the wisp and the system one are philips masks, and there is a setting in the system one to adjust the pressure based on the mask being used.

I found the Wisp caused me so much congestion that I only lasted 90 minutes with it.
You might look at the ResMed Swift FX Nano...very similar in the cushion but I had good success with it..didn't cause any congestion (from the pressure of the mask on my nose). It just fits a little differently I guess. Less pressure on the area of my nose where if it gets pressure I get congested.

Re: Need help adjusting to the wisp
I worked about a month with the wisp. Never could get it to stop leaking. Went back to the Swift FX. I have tried several different mask and keep coming back to the FX. I do want to try the Nano. But i won't be getting rid of the FX.
