AirMini™ F20/F30 setup pack with:
  • AirMini™ tubing

  • F20/F30 mask connector

It's the exact same elbow and the mask has the exact same vent rates. It is also rated up to 30cm pressure. Though I couldn't get it to stop leaking at 17cm.

RE: new Resmed ff mask
You get a different elbow in the AirMini setup pack that allows the special AirMini hose to connect.  So I am suggesting that the AirMini f20 adapter is the exact same as the Airmini f30 adapter.

The one you've tagged as F20 looks like previous gen elbow and the other looks like the new QuietAir elbow IMO, which is now standard issue.

BTW if you wish to test compatibility, swap the elbows on the other mask.

Dave, you're correct, the elbows on Hihowrya's pics are of different generation, the F20's being the old one. New F20 elbow looks exactly the same as F30 elbow, afaik.

Thank you guys for setting me straight. I got the F20 in August so thought it was the new elbow.

Yep, the "new" elbow is now the standard issue as I understand the situation.

RE: new Resmed ff mask
Used the new F30 on both my AirMini (using the F20 adapter) and Dreamstation yesterday. I liked the Dreamwear FF Mask but like the F30 even better. The silicone is just a little firmer and I like the way the wings wrap around your nose just a bit. Much better for side sleeping than the Dreamwear FF since you do not have the air tubes running along the sides of your face.

Please keep us updated on how it works if you don't mind. Maybe even do a product review. Thanks.

RE: new Resmed ff mask
I'm still willing to try it when I can get my hands on one...I have not tried the Amara View either...I did not have good luck with the Dreamwear FFM....hope this one would be different. I just gotta wait 3 months because I just got a resupply on my N20...i want a decent ffm as a back up for when I'm stopped up....this one looks interesting...I'm partial to Resmed.
