I feel like I have to comment. I was never taught how to properly fit my Evora mask. I’ve had it since May (almost 6 months) and it has been a struggle. Some nights I lay awake struggling to breathe correctly for four hours just to meet my insurance clearance. It’s been miserable at times. Yesterday I searched TH-cam in hopes of some help and found this video. I fit my mask according to your tips last night and I was absolutely shocked at how I wasn’t struggling to exhale like I have every single night for six months. Specifically the tip about the side straps not touching my ears I think was the biggest help. I guess I just wanted to say thank you and also encourage others who are having trouble exhaling with their Evora mask to follow these tips and try again.
I feel compelled to provide some feedback on the Evora Mask. First, let me say that I have used many styles of masks in the 10+ years of using a CPAP. For the last 3-4 years I have used the P10 nasal pillow mask which has worked quite well except that I feel like I am always breathing warm air even though I have the humidifier off. I wanted to try the Evora and finally (recently) got the opportunity. I have been using it for about a week now. For the first couple of nights I felt somewhat claustrophobic (like when I first started using my CPAP) but I kept the mask on and now for the last couple of nights it has been the BEST mask ever! In fact, in stead of feeling warm air I feel cool air which I really like. What an Awesome Mask. Thanks for takiing the time to share your honest opinions with us.
@@100percentmobile I agree that it can't cool the air but it feels cooler I guess because it just has a slot and is blowing across the bottom of my nose into both nostrils and also blowing on the septum making it feel cooler? Either way I like it more than the P10 now.
@@Slimfast52 moving air evaporates moisture which then carries away heat off of the skin. So you might perceive cool air but it’s perhaps just an increased airflow over your previous mask?
I had issues with this when On my side and 14-15 pressure that it leaks very easy. It also hurts the front of my nose when i tighten when it does not leak. I tried all the sizes in my fit pack. I do not understand how the SOLO will be any better as it uses a similar cushion. Please review the Solo with pillows vs Brevita vs Bleep Eclipse halo

I just got this mask. It is outstanding. I’ve struggled for years with leaks, whisked, waking up over and over. This mask fits so well! No a sound. I slept through the night for the first time in weeks. I used it with the 2” tape you recommended. I had the F&G full face mask you recommended which is also an amazing fit. This combo is unbelievably perfect for me. The 2” tape you recommended worked exactly as you said it would. I had been having the worst dry mouth. I used the 2” tape and set the humidity to off just as you suggested. Wow! Zero dry mouth night after night. I watched a number of your videos and was shocked that I have learned more and had the best results EVER. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Sorry to ramble but I’ve had so much trouble with Cpap leakage (I have a small nose) that your videos have been like a miracle. One important question. In your video you explained how important it is to have the hose width correct on your machine. I verified that I had the correct hose size but with the new Evora nasal mast there is the small extra narrow tube on the mask. When verifying the tube size with this mask, what size do I use?
Thank you. Been watching your vids for some time now. Looks like this mask will fit me well as I want to try out a nasal cushion mask. I am used to nasal masks only, but getting red pressure marks on the bridge of my nose from time to time. Thanks for the reviews! Really helpful. Just don't know if I will be able to get it here in South Africa. Maybe I'll go the Amazon route.
Has anyone used this mask with the wide nosepiece? I really want to love it, but even the large doesn't seem to work right and I went back to the Brevida. Has anyone had experience with a large vs. wide nosepiece with the Evora?
Thank you! Now glad I chose this over Brevida! I received the Evora fit pack, no size guide and little clue. I read the Use Guide, tried all 3 and none were comfortable and ALL seemed to leak. Understand I'm new to CPAP, My third set of mask/headgear in 8 weeks..I've struggled..just sick with poor sleep. I watched you and listened to you. I saw you do something....I made the 'tiniest' adjustment of the 'floating seal' inside the wings - TaDah BLISS - suddenly no more noise, comfortable breaths, Completely comfortable!...I teared up a bit in just relief! I was scared to take it off because I dont want to lose the fit! First time in weeks I actually dont dread going to sleep. Thank you!
I tried this mask for one night. My biggest problem was the plastic pieces on the head gear hurt my head. (right where the two straps come together) It felt like it was squeezing my head on each side. By 11:00 I was DONE! I swear my head hurt in those spots for the rest of the day. I did try to loosen the mask but then I got air leaks. I am almost afraid to try it again. Any suggestions on what I need to adjust to try it again? It was not uncomfortable when I went to sleep.
How would you compare this to f&p other 'floating' mask, the brevida? Love your work. I've been watching for years. Your the top cpap TH-camr by a long way.
Thank you! As a new Evora nasal CPAP user- your video saved the day. It would have been a helpful detail when putting the components back together to be sure the letter for the size was right side up to be able to click the pillow and its frame back on. That was the only thing that took me awhile to get on my own. But, definitely helpful! Bless you!!!
Great review Jason, as usual! I’ve been using the P10 for a few years and it seems to work well for me. But like everyone I’m always looking for a mask that could be better. How would you compare this one to the P10? I did try the Brevida and really wanted to like it, but it just didn’t do it for me and I continue on with the P10.
Was literally the exact same. P10 user for years, tried Brevida and a multitude of other minimal masks. P10 was fine, but the nostril irritation was what made me want to swap out. Tried Evora and haven't gone back to p10 - Evora is a great little mask and I've given my nostrils a break!
After that, I HAD to subscribe 😂 Tip if anybody ever sees this and cares - the only thing I don’t like about this mask is the air blowing out the front and it hits my eyes. I solved this irritant by wearing a sleep mask over my eyes. Everything’s groovy now 😎
Im trying this mask with medium cushion which seem to be the right size. I have a fairly small head and nose. The head strap is the furthest in (tightest) but the frame is still barely above my ears. But the real problem is the cut out, it partially blocks my nostrils so it restricts the air flow. I dont know if i adjusted it wrong. Im also trying the Dreamwear nasal cushion withs fits perfectly but has the same issue as the Dreamwear nasal pillows as in i feel like im breathing through a straw no matter the pressure or epr setting.
Currently using airfit n30. Love it but not happy to see that it has a filter built into the mask that turns black with use. ( I might add with regular cleaning) I'm happy to see F+P have a comparable mask. Happy to give it a try.
Ja ja ja, hola, soy de Sevilla, España, Europa. Estoy suscrito, me gusta tu canal, y me es muy valiosa tu información. Sigue así!!! ¡Y ahora te doy un "like"!! :)
Jason, it's not that difficult to route the short hose in an arc in front of your face and onto the top strap (if the mask has one). I've done this with my N20 and Wisp masks. Just attach the hose with a velcro strip, piece of wire or tape, etc. Presto, a top attachment mask.

You have always been so helpful! It was almost tragic how little help I got from Kaiser years ago. We had a group session and people just picked our masks and went home. No info discussed. I learned so much from you. My “ bed partner” freaks out with air leakage ! My sole purpose in life is to find one that doesn’t! Love your videos!!!!
Trying to find a nasal mask that works for me. I have been using the AirFit/Touch for years and it just works so well for me but it always leaves a red cushion outline to the point I’ve actually received comments on it. My problem with these nasal cushions is the cushion cutout is too small and actually covers 50% of my nostrils, regardless of cushion size. It’s harder to breathe with the mask on then with it off. Considering trying nasal pillows next.
You didn’t say that rear strap wears out fast, they can be replaced. I was averaging 9 events per hour with my old mask. Using the Evora now average below 4 events.Thanks for the information.
Ok lefty I subscribed and setup notifications because you are funny and presumably a lefty. Aren’t all lefties funny?! My CPAP provider sent me to you.
The amazing Evora. I'm eyeing both it and the Brevida as replacements for my Philips DreamWear (I'm trying the Brevida as I type this, while I wait on my Evoras to come in... One from my sleep clinic and a second from CPAP Supplies). I really LIKE how stable and easy F&P has made their head gear to put on, and how it seems hats and baseball caps have influenced their design philosophy. It seems others (especially the Philips DreamWear and DreamWisp) almost feel like bike helmets by comparison... As in either way too tight or not secure at all. I'm looking forward to trashing my DreamaWear Nasal masks in particular when my Evoras arrive. Update: Both of my Evoras are in... One from my doctor, the other from your sponsor. Been trying them today and they're great. I love the CapFit head gear. This is a must try mask for anyone who can use a nasal mask.
I wished a paid closer attention when I initially watched this video. I bought the mask based on your review, but I apparently ignored a really IMPORTANT statement you made @ 3:45 where you said you needed the smallest hole and claimed you had a pinhead (you obviously don't have a pinhead, you're just not a fathead) I was so excited this mask came in small sizing, and wouldn't have the issue of brevida where the pillows are too big that I ignored your statement. THIS MASK IS FOR FATHEADS ONLY!! I can't imagine this fitting any woman.
If you wouldn't mind, post here again after you've tried it and share your honest opinion of it. Always like to get the opinion of others if there was something that I missed.
@@Freecpapadvice Hello again, Mr. Jason! I received the Evora last week (kinda like the name of the mask by the way....:D) Been testing it for some nights now. I usually wear the Resmed Swift FX Nano and they are actually quite similar in many ways I think. The Evora is IMHO a very good nasal mask. I've gone through five Resmed masks now since I started the therapy in May this year. My go-to-mask is the Swift FX Nano, but the Evora will be a very good number two and it probably would be my new all time favorite if it hadn't been that I have some nasal issues with allergies giving me a stuffed nose quite often. I probably should use a FFM because of that, but I found that the Swift FX Nano works quite well. Nasal pillows is a no go for me in that regard - if not, I would probably stick with the P10. The Evora has a genious strap and the nasal cushin is very comfortable. I found it to help using a pair of nasal dilators as well at the same time. So all in all I think F&P has probably struck gold with this mask - especially for those who have no issues breathing only through their nostrils :)
@@andyk6344 If you'd like to try nasel pillows but don't want ones that will tear your nose (personal expierience) I really recommend the F&P Brevida. I used it before and I tried the Evora but ended up going back to the Brevida. My favorite mask for sure and it has things that go in your nose but it's cushioned with air. I think of it as a hybrid. I really like it.
On CPAP for a little over three weeks I am trialing this mask because the air P 10 XS that I was using was causing sores in my narrow left nostril. It stays on better than the P 10, doesn't slide around on my hair. I'm a side sleeper and have noticed some shifting from side to side and some red marks on either side of my mouth, opposite to the side I slept on. I'm assuming from the hard plastic wings. I've only used 3 nights so far so will keep working with it as I still have scabs on both sides of my nostril. Thanks for the review!
So, if I used it and I was on my side, would I have air blasting on my face? And would I have noise of the air from the mask hitting the bed or pillow?
My biggest problem with this mask is that it makes my mouth extremely cold from the cold air exhalation. I love the cap fit, but man, I can't even get to sleep because of the cold air blowing on my mouth.
you forgot hit the like button. I have one of these coming from the VA got a new P10 and don't like it even though I have been using one for the last six months. They changed it in that time now it's very tight. Ugh.
I have this and love it as it doesn't make me claustrophobic like some others. My only issue is the blue strap flips up on me. I adjust constantly. I found if I pull my hair up in a ponytail it stays in place but don't know what I'd do if my hair was too short.
They're very different. I think that I personally prefer the Swift FX Nano between the two. Evora is very easy as well and doesn't go over the nose, so fitting is easier. Keeping a seal during the night is probably more difficult with the Evora until you get the hang of it. Nano is more intuitive from the start. My opinion....
Tried the Evora. Air vents are sufficating on exhale. The exit holes on the mask have about twice the resistance as other masks (hubby also uses a CPAP and he's an engineer, asked him to identify why I couldn't breathe). I like the N30 with the nasal cradle, but not the flimsy strap, so I was interested in using the Evora, but couldn't tolerate. I use an Airsense 10, pressure at 7. Currently I'm using the nasal cradle that I attached to the Swift FX headgear. 😕

@@Freecpapadvice Drat it!!! I was on my ipad where I was logged in with my main account. I could never figure out how to get the TH-cam TV app to let me login as my channel (brand) only my main account. Being a TH-cam rookie is hard...TWSS!!!
@@Freecpapadvice Unfortunately it ended up not working out for me. Too many leaks and an unreasonably high AHI spike every day I used it. Thank you for the reply though! Much appreciated. LOVE your videos.
@@mikesimoes3624 I have used N30 and Dreamwear. N30 feels impossible to exhale in the middle of the night. Dreamwear is much more likely to move and not as comfortable. Trying to find something with similar profile to N30 that won't make my nose feel stuffed all night.
Hey Jason I tried to use the VIP 30 code on the store to purchased extra Seals for the F&P Evora ........ and it didn’t work out Anyways thanks for the the info well explained you do
I have the Brevida but don't like the fact that it swivels because of the exhaust or the diffuser always ends up pointing at me irritating me so I was thinking about giving this a try but I like the nasal prongs or nipples or whatever they're called so idk if that's going to happen yet. I also don't like how the straps are so close to my eyes.
There is a NEW EVORA FULL FACE MASK COMING OUT, I can not find when this is coming out i can only find it available in Australia i would like to know when it will be available here and when a new evora Full face mask???
Its available NOW!! from several Australian dealers including CPAP Direct. Mine arrived 2 days ago! Works brilliantly for me but masks are a very personal thing
@@Freecpapadvice I like the dreamwear except that it moves on me all the time. the N30 makes my nose feel stuffy since the pressure ends up way higher. Do you think this mask will be like the N30 in that regard?
I'm a rpsgt too. I like your channel. I recently got dx'd will osa and really struggling with a mask. So far the best has been the Phillips nuance Nadal pillow. But, it (as with any pillow mask) pinches my septum and rubs it raw. It is a small sore and notice the headgear stretches out alot. Nasal mask hurt my sinuses. Pillows tend to cause my nose to go crazy and itch (except for the nuance). The two sleep companies I work for don't have access to this mask thru the vendor. I've spent a lot on masks. The link I tried is over a year old and I couldn't get it working. I would like the fit pack, as well. Can you repost the link and will the code still work? Thanx!
Considering this mask as I have used a P-10 for half a decade and always looking to try new. How efficient do you think it would seal with a mustache? The P-10 is obviously not an issue and I am considering the Brevida (people either love it or hate it - I've seen your review)
I have a fairly full mustache and use the Brevida and it works well. It has little cones that go in your nose like the P10, but not nearly as aggressively. I had to stop using the P10 due to pressure sores and a skin split. Probably TMI but I had to stop using the P10. I then tried nasal cover masks and then got on the Brevida. I really like it but always am on the lookout. First saw the Resmed N30 and it didn't get a lot of coverage so I was weary. With my good experience with F&P, the Evora just jumped to the top of my list for masks I'd like to try.
@@Juneisthebestmonth Well hey, I'm reporting back. I got the Evora and I want to like it so much. I have a hard time getting it fit right and not fighting with leaks and my pressure skyrocketing because of it. I also had issues with the vents causing excess air noise that woke me up. I've used the 30 day trial to exchange it for another Brevida which is now easily my favorite mask. What I'd really love to see if they added a Brevida style nasel pillow and diffuser on the frame of the Evora because the Evora really has comfortable headgear. Due to COVID I didn't have to return the Evora, so I'll hold onto it and see what the future holds. How are you liking the Brevida?
@@dwarrenmsp Thank you so much for responding. I am on Medicare and get a free shipment quarterly of masks, headgear, filters water tanks - etc. . The Brevida is coming next week as that is when my shipment is scheduled. I will report back after I use it for a while, but as I mentioned before - we are on a parallel path.
Kurt.....don't be a weenie. it was clearly a joke. I get hundreds of emails a day asking for free advice. I answer as many as I can while producing free content for people to view, learn from, and enjoy. When I ask what address you sent it do I was trying to follow up and see if it's in a spam folder or if you sent it to some nonexistent email address. I gave you the benefit of the doubt with the "What's the deal?????" comment, that it didn't have some snarky entitled inflection to it. I change my mind as to what I think your intent was behind it.

Considering trying nasal pillows next.
You didn’t say that rear strap wears out fast, they can be replaced. I was averaging 9 events per hour with my old mask. Using the Evora now average below 4 events.Thanks for the information.
Ok lefty I subscribed and setup notifications because you are funny and presumably a lefty. Aren’t all lefties funny?! My CPAP provider sent me to you.
Sounds like your CPAP provider has an IQ of 160.
😂 Thanks for the sub
Nice review. Does the wings dig into or around your nose when laying on your side? Thanks
Like the Brevida nasal pillows, they don't. The cushion keeps the stability wings off your face.
The amazing Evora. I'm eyeing both it and the Brevida as replacements for my Philips DreamWear (I'm trying the Brevida as I type this, while I wait on my Evoras to come in... One from my sleep clinic and a second from CPAP Supplies).
I really LIKE how stable and easy F&P has made their head gear to put on, and how it seems hats and baseball caps have influenced their design philosophy. It seems others (especially the Philips DreamWear and DreamWisp) almost feel like bike helmets by comparison... As in either way too tight or not secure at all.
I'm looking forward to trashing my DreamaWear Nasal masks in particular when my Evoras arrive.
Update:
Both of my Evoras are in... One from my doctor, the other from your sponsor. Been trying them today and they're great. I love the CapFit head gear. This is a must try mask for anyone who can use a nasal mask.
When using a full face mask, it is okay to fully breathe from your nose or should you open your mouth while using it?
It's okay to breathe however you are comfortable with a FFM. The only thing that is important is that the "circuit" is closed. (no leaking)
I emailed Cheapcpap on the 1st of Feb for some information about posting to APO but they still have not replied ?
I got nothing......I just do advertisements for them sometimes.
I wished a paid closer attention when I initially watched this video. I bought the mask based on your review, but I apparently ignored a really IMPORTANT statement you made @ 3:45 where you said you needed the smallest hole and claimed you had a pinhead (you obviously don't have a pinhead, you're just not a fathead) I was so excited this mask came in small sizing, and wouldn't have the issue of brevida where the pillows are too big that I ignored your statement. THIS MASK IS FOR FATHEADS ONLY!! I can't imagine this fitting any woman.
I finally subscribed - after years of watching your videos. Your Welcome! :-)
How am I just seeing this?!? 😂 Love it!
Subscribed first night tonight with the Evora.
Thank you sir!
Hi Jason! Love the videos! Do you have the link for the fit template to the Evora? I coudn't find it on the Fisher&Paykel website. Thx
I don't. That was the main reason why I spent time at the beginning on the measurements and sizing.
The Evoooorrraaaa mask is on the way to my mailbox....looking forward to trying it 😊
If you wouldn't mind, post here again after you've tried it and share your honest opinion of it. Always like to get the opinion of others if there was something that I missed.
TheLankyLefty27 I will do that 👍🏼😊
@@Freecpapadvice Hello again, Mr. Jason! I received the Evora last week (kinda like the name of the mask by the way....:D) Been testing it for some nights now. I usually wear the Resmed Swift FX Nano and they are actually quite similar in many ways I think. The Evora is IMHO a very good nasal mask. I've gone through five Resmed masks now since I started the therapy in May this year. My go-to-mask is the Swift FX Nano, but the Evora will be a very good number two and it probably would be my new all time favorite if it hadn't been that I have some nasal issues with allergies giving me a stuffed nose quite often. I probably should use a FFM because of that, but I found that the Swift FX Nano works quite well. Nasal pillows is a no go for me in that regard - if not, I would probably stick with the P10. The Evora has a genious strap and the nasal cushin is very comfortable. I found it to help using a pair of nasal dilators as well at the same time. So all in all I think F&P has probably struck gold with this mask - especially for those who have no issues breathing only through their nostrils :)
@@andyk6344 If you'd like to try nasel pillows but don't want ones that will tear your nose (personal expierience) I really recommend the F&P Brevida. I used it before and I tried the Evora but ended up going back to the Brevida. My favorite mask for sure and it has things that go in your nose but it's cushioned with air. I think of it as a hybrid. I really like it.
On CPAP for a little over three weeks I am trialing this mask because the air P 10 XS that I was using was causing sores in my narrow left nostril. It stays on better than the P 10, doesn't slide around on my hair. I'm a side sleeper and have noticed some shifting from side to side and some red marks on either side of my mouth, opposite to the side I slept on. I'm assuming from the hard plastic wings. I've only used 3 nights so far so will keep working with it as I still have scabs on both sides of my nostril. Thanks for the review!
Take shirt off, then…😀

Now I need to send money.. I think your reviews are the best.
Compatible with resmed airsense 10 autoset?,
Yes.
Is this mask compatible with airsense10autoset machine?
Yes
You are looping looping .
what do you recommed for side sleeper
Good question!
So, if I used it and I was on my side, would I have air blasting on my face? And would I have noise of the air from the mask hitting the bed or pillow?
Does resmed have a mask like this that you recommend?
The N30 is the closest. I probably prefer the Evora, but they're pretty close.
Great reviews. I love keeping up to date with my equipment and you are a great resource.
My biggest problem with this mask is that it makes my mouth extremely cold from the cold air exhalation. I love the cap fit, but man, I can't even get to sleep because of the cold air blowing on my mouth.
you forgot hit the like button. I have one of these coming from the VA got a new P10 and don't like it even though I have been using one for the last six months. They changed it in that time now it's very tight. Ugh.
I have this and love it as it doesn't make me claustrophobic like some others. My only issue is the blue strap flips up on me. I adjust constantly. I found if I pull my hair up in a ponytail it stays in place but don't know what I'd do if my hair was too short.
M’kay! Subscribed now. 👍🏻😁
Thanks for subbing!
How can I find out when / how to get the - new Evora Full Hybrid mask ?????? I can't wait
How does this one compare to the fx nano? I currently use the n20 and I’m looking to try a different mask. Thanks.
They're very different. I think that I personally prefer the Swift FX Nano between the two. Evora is very easy as well and doesn't go over the nose, so fitting is easier. Keeping a seal during the night is probably more difficult with the Evora until you get the hang of it. Nano is more intuitive from the start. My opinion....
@@Freecpapadvice Is the Swift FX Nano still available? The sleep tech I use says they have been replaced by another type and they don't offer it.
Thanks!
Tried the Evora. Air vents are sufficating on exhale. The exit holes on the mask have about twice the resistance as other masks (hubby also uses a CPAP and he's an engineer, asked him to identify why I couldn't breathe). I like the N30 with the nasal cradle, but not the flimsy strap, so I was interested in using the Evora, but couldn't tolerate. I use an Airsense 10, pressure at 7. Currently I'm using the nasal cradle that I attached to the Swift FX headgear. 😕
I am not an Indian bro...’donat’ be mad at me though bro. I do not have notifications on but I still like you very much. I might be close to a LankyLefty stalker. Maybe...

Looks impressive.
So this mask fits you on the tightest pin. Does that mean lt would be too large for a woman with a small head?
So your code VIP30 no longer works?
That’s never been one of my codes. Use 20LANKY
How would you compare this to the resmed N20 nasal mask?
What the # settings for this mask so I can set it in the settings
Which machine are you using?
So what are your top 2 favorite nasal masks right now?
Top 2 is tough. Top tier: Bleep Dreamway, Swift FX Nano, Dreamwear under nose, Evora is too soon to tell overall, but I’m positive on it.
@@Freecpapadvice Now that you've used it for a while...has it made your top 2 or 3? :)
@@Freecpapadvice Unfortunately it ended up not working out for me. Too many leaks and an unreasonably high AHI spike every day I used it. Thank you for the reply though! Much appreciated. LOVE your videos.
I started using the F&P Evora Full last night and the first impressions are good. 👍
Whoa whoa whoa... What do you mean by "you people"?
🤣
How's that hard plastic feel on the head ? I am not a fan of hard straps
I can only see it being a problem if someone is bald. I didn't feel a thing though.
Daniel, I don't like hard straps on top of my head and on my face. Still trying to find the right CPAP mask . . . I am on mask #3 . . .
Anyone using this mask? I use the Dreamwear nasal but this looks like a decent option.
Yes. Haven't tried dreamwear so not sure how it compares there but it beat out p10 & n30 for me. Would recommend it.
@@mikesimoes3624 I have used N30 and Dreamwear. N30 feels impossible to exhale in the middle of the night. Dreamwear is much more likely to move and not as comfortable. Trying to find something with similar profile to N30 that won't make my nose feel stuffed all night.
Did you ever try it? I like the dreamwear, but it always moves in the middle of the night and I find myself removing it while I am sleeping.
Hey Jason I tried to use the VIP 30 code on the store to purchased extra Seals for the F&P Evora ........ and it didn’t work out
Anyways thanks for the the info well explained you do
They have another listed at the top banner that is better. Memcpap35....or something like that. Check the coupon page.
I have the Brevida but don't like the fact that it swivels because of the exhaust or the diffuser always ends up pointing at me irritating me so I was thinking about giving this a try but I like the nasal prongs or nipples or whatever they're called so idk if that's going to happen yet. I also don't like how the straps are so close to my eyes.
Actually the swiveling part of it's okay but if it wasn't bent/angled down down then it might be even better.
I'm gonna get this mask soon. Will keep you posted if I like it :)
Jason when going to do review on the the Fisher Paykel evora full face mask?
I need to get one first. Really want to try one.
Would you do a video on aerophagia solutions? thanks
Search my channel. I have 2 on aerophagia.
@@Freecpapadvice ok,great! Thank you!
There is a NEW EVORA FULL FACE MASK COMING OUT, I can not find when this is coming out i can only find it available in Australia i would like to know when it will be available here and when a new evora Full face mask???
Its available NOW!! from several Australian dealers including CPAP Direct. Mine arrived 2 days ago! Works brilliantly for me but masks are a very personal thing
Note it is avail in several sizers but also available as a FIT Pack which gives you all sizes -great for 1st purchase!
Ok my notification are on now. ☺
So my begging worked? 😉
The legend is back!
Is there a cushion mask similar to this one that has a hose on the top?
Respironics Dreamwear.
@@Freecpapadvice Thank you, fellow Lefty!
@@Freecpapadvice I like the dreamwear except that it moves on me all the time. the N30 makes my nose feel stuffy since the pressure ends up way higher. Do you think this mask will be like the N30 in that regard?
2:45 saunameters!
🤣 This will absolutely never get old.
I'm a rpsgt too. I like your channel. I recently got dx'd will osa and really struggling with a mask. So far the best has been the Phillips nuance Nadal pillow. But, it (as with any pillow mask) pinches my septum and rubs it raw. It is a small sore and notice the headgear stretches out alot. Nasal mask hurt my sinuses. Pillows tend to cause my nose to go crazy and itch (except for the nuance). The two sleep companies I work for don't have access to this mask thru the vendor. I've spent a lot on masks. The link I tried is over a year old and I couldn't get it working. I would like the fit pack, as well. Can you repost the link and will the code still work? Thanx!
This should work: cpapsupplies.com/lefty
Great ty!
Thanks for help
The actual review starts at 1:21…
Considering this mask as I have used a P-10 for half a decade and always looking to try new. How efficient do you think it would seal with a mustache? The P-10 is obviously not an issue and I am considering the Brevida (people either love it or hate it - I've seen your review)
I have a fairly full mustache and use the Brevida and it works well. It has little cones that go in your nose like the P10, but not nearly as aggressively. I had to stop using the P10 due to pressure sores and a skin split. Probably TMI but I had to stop using the P10. I then tried nasal cover masks and then got on the Brevida. I really like it but always am on the lookout. First saw the Resmed N30 and it didn't get a lot of coverage so I was weary. With my good experience with F&P, the Evora just jumped to the top of my list for masks I'd like to try.
@@dwarrenmsp we are on a parallel path. Same issues.
@@dwarrenmsp Please let me know when you do try it (the Evora). I have the Brevida on order.
@@Juneisthebestmonth Well hey, I'm reporting back. I got the Evora and I want to like it so much. I have a hard time getting it fit right and not fighting with leaks and my pressure skyrocketing because of it. I also had issues with the vents causing excess air noise that woke me up. I've used the 30 day trial to exchange it for another Brevida which is now easily my favorite mask. What I'd really love to see if they added a Brevida style nasel pillow and diffuser on the frame of the Evora because the Evora really has comfortable headgear. Due to COVID I didn't have to return the Evora, so I'll hold onto it and see what the future holds. How are you liking the Brevida?
@@dwarrenmsp Thank you so much for responding. I am on Medicare and get a free shipment quarterly of masks, headgear, filters water tanks - etc. . The Brevida is coming next week as that is when my shipment is scheduled. I will report back after I use it for a while, but as I mentioned before - we are on a parallel path.
Thanks!
