RE: Can't get my AHI under 1 anymore
If you are still leaking using Cover Roll tape, you are probably not cutting it long enough. I need to cut it to 5-1/2 inches or I still leak. If you are already cutting it to that length, then cut it an inch longer.
Good luck!

Thanks! I'll try that. Although I'm wondering if I'm shifting around too much in my sleep and leaking from the mask it self as opposed to breathing through my mouth. This is a lot of trial and error!

If you are leaking through your mouth, you will know it. It's loud and it will turn your mouth into death valley levels of dry. That was an issue I was having with the P-10. It was mostly a comfortable mask. But with those spindly straps and the elephant trunk hose it didn't take much rolling about to create a leak. And the mask game is unfortunately a lot of trial and error. If only everyone's face was the same. (perfect like mine  ) The perfect mask would have been made long ago. I have bought the F40i and the P30i and the nose cradle piece as well.

I'm going to try some larger tapes as Deborah suggested but I do really think the rolling about is causing leaks. If it doesn't get better I'll look into purchasing the p30i

I used a bigger piece of tape as Deborah suggested and I tightened the strap on my p10 some more and my leak rate is better and AHI is lower.
Progress!
