F&P Evora Full Face Mask; 5 things to know before buying!

[@jherigleaton9867]

I tried Resmed’s nasal pillow, nasal mask, f&p nasal, all with disastrous results. Six months into my cpap journey I moved on to Resmed’s f30i which I loved except it could be a little leaky. Six months later I tried this nasal mask and WOW it seems to be the most comfortable. I move around and sleep on my side and so far no leakage.

[@ovodom]

Good to hear my resmed f30i leaks after a month and really just get annoying

[@grayautumnday]

If they hadn't stopped making the f30 (not the f30i), it would be slightly better than this one. The f40 would be way better if they hadn't taken out all the absolutely essential structure from the f30 that helps people who need this style mask actually keep a seal.

[@7IxOyE71]

My CPAP technician didn't do a very good job in explaining how to do any of this regarding the mask. I also didn't get a user's guide in the bag she gave me which was already opened by her. I agree about the S-M size, which should just be M. I will be starting to wear it soon, but will certainly watch this video a few more times while holding my mask. Thanks!

[@nancyransom6874]

Was wondering that

[@cameronwatson277]

Thanks. This video was a great help, when I started APAP last year. Keeping the mask loose is important. I have it loose on my face and the air pressure foofs it up so it floats on my face and seals nicely

[@margaretsmigiel7091]

I never paid attention to how tight or loose the mask was on my face. Thanks for the tip!

[@kerrig2471]

excellent review and great tips. I can attest to number 1, don't give up on this mask which I almost did. I'm *extremely hard to fit, small face, tiny nose and I nearly sent this mask back 4 times every night. I'm much better iwth it now though I do find it crumples my nose quite badly.

[@wanderse1]

Best mask I’ve used in the past 6 years.

[@tiffanyf7938]

Thank you, this was most helpful. I just got this mask today and have downloaded the app. I used the ResMed N30 nose pillow, however with allergies, I become too stuffed up throughout the night. I’m hoping that the Evora will be the right solution for me.

[@MrCJHamill]

I can't get it to seal around my nose properly

[@patslaney-dz2in]

Tried downloading QR code but only got large amount of numbers. It didn't direct me to a website or help area.

[@jefftate01]

Should the tip of my nose be tucked into the nasal hole or just sit on top of it?

[@Actaeon2nd]

Sit on top. The nasal hole is for your nostrils.

[@ruxp10]

Ive been breathing straight co2 for hours. This mask is gunna give me brain damage. Im getting less air than if i take it off. Is there a valve i need to open?

[@skidrow-black]

Noise is a big issue with this musk and it's difficult to turn from left to right side.

[@sarahrutz5670]

It pain on the sides of my nose. What can I use to reduce the chafing?

[@patspellman5888]

Try to find a mask liner that works for you.

[@DarcyWhyte]

this thing is excellent

[@bov969]

It feels like the air is leaking? Is that normal?

[@terrischmidt2822]

I needed an x-small which was not included in the packet.

[@janetmyers3729]

I’ve never used a nasal mask of any kind. My Full face F20 (no nasal contact) doesn’t make any exhale nose. Is this noise common for masks that incorporate nasal holes? How do you sleep with that exhale nose?

[@unclefester9113]

Boyant.... great word. I wish I could get someone to comment on this one question. Do different masks vent C02 better - and do some masks vent more or less than other masks. Asked another way - IF I am at 13.4 pressure.... is that essentially the therapy with different masks ?

[@scowell]

Your machine has a mask setting.... nasal, full-face, or pillows. This sets pressure response as well as acceptable leak rates... all CPAP masks *must* leak some to let out the CO2... this is done by the exhalation port(s). Some masks have much bigger ports than others... some masks have 'diffusers' over the port that you can remove to get more CO2 out. I like big masks that exchange a lot of air... not a pillows fan, I feel starved with the Bleep Eclipse even when I remove the diffuser. So, answer is yes... some masks clear CO2 better than others, by design.

[@teresajohnson9328]

Im getting deep marks on my cheeks from the side straps that don't go away? Any ideas to help that

[@patspellman5888]

I've seen ads for covers for side straps on cpap masks.

[@shelby250]

Are you to breathe through mouth or nose or does it matter

[@scowell]

Nose always better. I tape my mouth even with full-face masks.

[@StarOasis26]

Anyone had any air leaks? Mine blows air right Infront of where my lips are. I tried to snap the mask and body together firm but there's a leak when the body snaps onto mask.

[@scowell]

Are you referring to the exhaust port(s)? All CPAP masks must have exhaust ports.

[@archstanton9703]

I receive the s-m Evora mask and after trying it on a couple of times, it completely plugged my nose. I’m wondering if I need the large cushion. This is the first hybrid full-face mask I’ve tried. Cheers!

[@jasonhernandez7942]

It’s done the same for me. Which is why I’m returning it

[@archstanton9703]

@@jasonhernandez7942 I went back to my Resmed Quatro Air mask.

[@pharm30]

Tried it for three nights. Left my nose and side of nose all red and irritated 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@wanderse1]

Used to do that to me also. Found out that by putting the mask on, turning on the machine and then adjusting the side straps so that it just stops leaking air, it solved it. This mask,unlike all the Resmed masks, can be worn a bit looser.

[@kerrig2471]

@@wanderse1 how do yo keep this mask from pushing my nose up until it looks upturned and curled?

[@pinwheelgrl9304]

@MrZocor There is more than one adjustment you can make, it's tricky. See LeftyLanky vid about doing it kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWXVk6uVbd53ebs

[@rasmusharrasmus]

Also tried it. Pulmonologist fitted it. When the resmed 11 got near 10 pressure, it made horrible farting noises and vibrated on my face.

[@anniefranco5254]

I tried to give time to the mask. Every time I use it got blemishes on the corners of my nose. Is that a matter of any component in the mask or could be anything else? Had you hear about this before?

[@upscalebohemian5372]

I hate it. My BiPAP machine gives me a blocked hose error message and turns itself off repeatedly no matter how I adjust it. I'm actually sleeping worse than I did before. The only way I got it to work for a while was to pull the straps and make it incredibly tight (and uncomfortable). Life is too short, and in the end, I would literally rather die than deal with this.

[@jimcollins1922]

A great mask for me, but the one that I have has a major problem that could be a design issue. The connection between the mask's tubing and the swivel is constantly disconnecting for me which is not good. I have had to super glue that connection. Anybody else having this problem or is it just my particular mask?

[@jefftate01]

Mine isn't that bad but it has come apart a few times when the hose snagged the night stand. I rerouted the hose and it's better but the connection could be a more positive snap fit.

[@Xelee1]

I just woke and it snapped apart.

[@normanlawson975]

I am having the same problem

[@jamieswing]

I don't agree with keeping the mask loose. There's no seal otherwise.

[@BigDale]

This mask leaks nearly every night at 30L/minute. there is almost no way to avoid leaks if you move around in sleep.

[@grayautumnday]

YOU STILL HAVE TO HAVE IT TIGHT IF YOU'RE ON BIPAP WITH HIGH PRESSURES. The loose instruction is a lie. It can't be ultra super tight or the sides roll inwards and it becomes impossible to keep a seal, but it does need to be very snug.

[@ruxp10]

Terrible mask. Im awake at 430 am and have been gasping for air the whole night

[@idan4329]

this mask is a total rip-off. velcro loses grip within a month or less.

[@killerman101s]

So let me see if I understand correctly, in step 5 you say I gotta download an app for a non-internet mask that you say will tell me everything I need to know for it? But this video is literally titled 5 things to know for that mask? You even admit that if I download the app itll tell me everything I need to know, so then why watch this video in the first place? You should just tell people they should download the app cause you want to harvest their data instead of sounding like a damn fool, or at least summarize all the videos for this mask so people don't have to download the app in the first place.

[@hudnall239]

Read the title of the video... it say's "BEFORE YOU BUY". If you have not purchased the mask, you won't have the QR code bruh. And.... why so aggressive? Dude is just trying to make an iformative video for his company and you're ready to 'Killerman" him.. Chill bro.

[@sandragilbert8875]

I put all my masks on in front of a mirror all these types of masks blow around your face and still gives dry mouth, like you said I keep it as a back up mask. It can be a bit awkward at times to reassemble for me anyway. I keep using cpap with all its ups and downs because it can improve your overall health. ❤️🧑‍🦳🙏
