Sounds lovely, HA. I haven't got around to it yet, but I will soon. It's getting much warmer and muggier here so I'd better get a wriggle on. I had to have a quiet chuckle at 'hose hugging'.

RE: Rank Newbie
Well I changed over my mask, and fluffed around with testing the fit and seal etc, and found that the Swift FX is a nose hugger, compared to the P10.
The vent is half the size of the P10, and it was whistling on the exhale. I had to reduce the min pressure from 9 back to 8 because it nearly blew my brains out. I got used to it soon enough however, and should be ok for tonight. I'll leave it on 8 since the big leaks were occurring on 9 anyway. It might tell me something. The whole time I've had this machine, the cats have not been interested, and have kept off the bed. Today, when I had the box everything came in, out to change the masks over, our big boy finally decided to take a look (Cats, boxes... you know how it is). He was a bit nonplussed with the air rushing out of the vent, but really didn't mind it at all. He might even start coming back to bed, now he's had a closer look and sees it's still me, even though I talk real funny with air rushing through my mouth. ![[Image: hEvVpTRm.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/hEvVpTRm.jpg)

RE: Rank Newbie
Just wait until that jet of air exiting the FX vent in the front of the mask hits a sleeping cat.
 It might be like when it blasted my wife...will either leave or swat you.

RE: Rank Newbie
Tried the Swift last night. Good news is that the leaks were not major.
Bad news is that the mask is destined for a hack. The pillows are ok, but I loathe the straps. And the figures aren't so flash either. ![[Image: GMlALDfl.png]](http://i.imgur.com/GMlALDfl.png) ![[Image: 4kAxQwEl.png]](http://i.imgur.com/4kAxQwEl.png)

Must not have hit the cat with the exhaust jet.

LMAO not yet. He did claim the box for the rest of the day, though.

Begone, demon hairpulling, cottonpicking, flappyfloppy silicone straps! A pox on your zipperybits while we're at it.
So far, so good. Flopped around on the pillow a bit and it's comfy, and doesn't pull my hair. I had nothing to lose, since I have no insurance or anything to cover or return. Making the best of a woefully uncomfortable situation. Who says convertible bras are useless? The straps sat in a little bag for several years but they're useful now  ![[Image: 2i8nT45l.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/2i8nT45l.jpg) ![[Image: vCqr0jRl.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/vCqr0jRl.jpg)
