Mouth breathing or Mask leaks ?
#1
Mouth breathing or Mask leaks ?
I'm trying to use the N30i mask instead of the F30i. During the night a woke up a couple of times with my mouth a little dry. In the morning I checked my Oscar graphs and it seems that I've quite some leaks. 
Is it possible to see the difference between a mouth leak and a mask leak from Oscar's graphs ?

I don't like the idea of taping my mouth, or wearing a chin strap. If this is mouth leaking, are there other good options ?

Kind regards,
mchrist.

RE: Mouth breathing or Mask leaks ?
Chances are these are mouth leaks but defer to those who are OSCAR experts here.

I didn’t like the idea of mouth taping since it seemed a wee bit barbaric. In my case it was mouth tape, full face mask which I didn’t tolerate, chin strap (too many people fail at that) or quitting CPAP. After some serious contemplation I tried mouth tape and never looked back. I has helped me so much. My leak rates are extremely low and many times ZERO.
