Amount of air going out Swift FX vent
My mask was making a mark on my nose so I've returned to the Swift FX. I don't like it generally because it makes my nostrils wider. Maybe it's not a lasting effect but it's there for a while in the morning. Anyway, it seems like the amount of air going out the vent of the Swift FX is a LOT. It's a lot more than the amount that goes out any of my masks and I have three different kinds. How can I tell if there's something wrong or how can I tell what's normal?

It may just be the hole configuration.
Those holes are parallel, making the stream more coherent, feeling like a 'blast'.
OTH, Mirage Micro has a circular set of holes, outwardly aligned, emitting a quiet, gentle cone of air.
Too bad this feature is so rare.
Deformation of nostrils by nasal pillows is less likely if the mask is correctly adjusted.
Loose is best, allowing the pillows to inflate onto the skin.
All us old nose pickers will attest to the fact that
the nose is not going to spread out from sticking things in it.

Hello,
"holes" in your mask are intentional leaks.
They are more or less silent depending on the type of mask and the type of pressure.
Do not forget to adjust the type of mask on your machine as
