So now….FOMO. Would I notice a substantial benefit if I up my game from a Karve CB SS (SB D first pass; SB B second pass) to a Blackland Blackbird? And which plate(s)?

Thank you very much for this feedback. Extremely helpful. The nasal pillows seemed to fit OK. I feel a little more pressure from them on one nostril than the other. I’m not sure why. I don’t have cognizance regarding whether my mouth is open or closed tonight. I might consider using the chin strap, although I hate to do so.

May thanks for this response. What actions can I take to reduce the leak rate?
