FF Mask, Sweat & Seal
#1
FF Mask, Sweat & Seal
I am using the ResMed F30i. I started using the mask in January when it was brutally cold outside. I have the ResMed 10 with a heated hose set to auto & auto. 

Now that it is warming outside, I find that my face is starting to sweat around the mask. This results in mask farts in the sweaty areas. I could tighten down the mask a bit or reduce the hose and or humidifier temps.

What is the most effective way to address this sweating issue?

RE: FF Mask, Sweat & Seal
Try all of things you suggest and see which works best.  

Also, mask liners specifically for your F30i might help in your case as well.  You can find them at many places online (Amazon, ebay, etc.) and Supplier #31 here on our supplier's list makes custom mask liners.  One of your suggestions may work before you even think about trying a mask liner.
