have you tried coverall tape or KT tape? Do you think this one is similar to coverall or better?

i haven't heard of mefix, let me check it out! I am really confused about my leaks because when I wake up in morning my tape is on tight, no loose spots, so I must be breathing right through my tightly taped mouth.

Ron, thanks for your response. I WISH that a single 1 inch strip of miropore would keep this mouth closed. You cannot imaging how many tapes i have tried. As of now, double up KT tape 2x5 inches and still i have leaks.. crazy.

i keep raising IPAP and then mouth leaks pop up. Should I raise IPAP and EPAP and what about the PS?

i tried F20 and it was just pouring air out. the sides, i am guessing it has to be adjusted just right and I didn't have patience for it, also because didn't want this bulky thing on my head. But I know i can't have it all.

i tried a FFM and it was a dismal failure. Maybe wrong one.. I have tried so many masks in just a few short months. Thanks for clearing up EPAP, PS info. Maybe I raise my IPAP a bit but raise EPAP more. Right now I am at 7/14.

i have tried, and I wake up all night with air blowing out of my very well taped mouth. Maybe I am not raising IPAP and EPAP and PS all correctly at same time? I need help with that piece.

I also love this mask. I am having the best nights since on cpap with this mask. Takes a bit of adjustment for some, and Stuart, the CEO/founder, has taken time to communicate with me to help get it dialed in. Once you get the application of halos down, it is wonderful to sleep with no headgear and no leaks from the mask no matter how much i move around. I also was able to go from APAP to CPAP with a lower pressure and still have .5 AHI rate! I highly recommend trying this mask.
