RE: Has anyone ever tried making their own mask?
gzimmer - This scam has been around for several years and periodically rears its head every so often. It's right up there with snake oil and perpetual motion machines.
RE: Has anyone ever tried making their own mask?
Yes.
Which is why I pointed to various links which call it a Scam.
Nevertheless I thought some of the discussion was relevant to those who are thinking about building a mask or even a CPAP machine.
