I'm waiting for this sort of mask to come with the sort of nostril prong thingies that the P10 and most nasal masks have.
As an aside, I ordered a mask stabilizing strap from Pad A Cheek for the F30. First two nights were a bust. Now, I've had two excellent nights with this mask, with low leak rates. I love this mask when it works, since I'm sometimes a mouth breather. It's still early but I hope this solves the leak issue I've had.
MY issue is that while the F30 frame/cushion only come in small & medium, the freakin headgear comes in ONE size which is apparently designed to fit Telosians:
(I have solved this -- the part on the back of the headgear where the straps make an X, cut it in half, and then safety-pin the two parts together after taking a good 1-1/2 inches of length out. My headgear no longer tries to amputate my ears. I have this problem with every damn headgear Resmed makes!)
Machine: Resmed Lumis VPAP 150 ST Mask Type: Full face mask Mask Make & Model: Evora Full Humidifier: Resmed Lumis VPAP 150 ST CPAP Pressure: EPAP 5, PS 5 - 7 in iVAPS mode CPAP Software: OSCAR
Other Software
Other Comments: O2 desaturation during REM when untreated or on CPAP. High CO2 on CPAP even with normal O2
Not that I am trying to make you jealous but being Down Under has its advantage this time. I have had an Evora Full since 7 January. The reason I mention the specific date is because I have attached a chart showing what the fuss is about the mask - barely any leaks! The one "big" leak that I had was when I did not clip the strap correctly and it came off. I liked my Eson 2, the Vitera was good but I love this mask.

....I'm hoping it doesn't have to be quarantined for two weeks before they send it to me.
