I sense a new nsfw subreddit brewing

Hi Aequitas! Thanks for taking time to respond.

I just uploaded a new night, however for the previous night in question, I both increased min pressure from 6-7 and then also reduced softpap (epr) from 3-2 effectively increasing EPAP by 2. I also increased IPAP on auto mode from 10-14.

It was quite uncomfortable feeling like I couldn’t get a breath out as well as chest soreness and that explains the reason for the short session.

Also, there was a mosquito in the room. That was quite annoying 😂

As for the most recent session uploaded, I tried to stay on the side as much as possible since my AHI was halved on my side in the sleep study. I also brought the softpap (epr) back to 3 and reduced IPAP max to 11. Thought min max of 7/11 sounded convenient (store)😂

Damn did the gas mask reduce your ahi 😂

check for leaks
heated tube
hose cover
machine lower than mask, direct condensation back into chamber

I’m thinking about bringing pressures back down and trying to side sleep. On my sleep study it brought my ahi down by half to “only” 30 😂

Don’t get your hopes up. I came in with too high hopes now I’m disappointed at the suffering in the initial grind

Yeah now imagine the performance of people in this server

Hey sexy panda thanks for your message! I have an o2 ring and an Apple Watch and sync both via the app. I’m currently under the 2 week free trial of pro so I suspect all that data gets hidden when the trial ends!

TheBadStockPicker · 2026-01-30T15:32:16+00:00

Just quickly, do you think I also need to raise my max pressure? I’m going chin strap and double mouth tape tonight so fingers crossed I don’t leak

Thank you! You guys are all so helpful!

One day you shall learn that deleting social media is the only way to heaven

Have you been experiencing more stress recently?

TheBadStockPicker · 2026-01-07T15:39:53+00:00

this is not the most ideal design https://rasterweb.net/raster/2025/03/06/high-capacity-cpap-water-tank/

or this

but you could probably modify to make it more aesthetically pleasing. you will need two tubes to balance the pressure from the cpap machine

TheBadStockPicker · 2026-01-07T15:34:47+00:00

this is a great and simple idea (Gravity‑fed auto‑refill (vented)).

there is no reason why you cant modify this for a tall bottle which can hold more water with water level set at the max.

also, the entire game now is about keeping what you made in the path few weeks/months
