you can create a diy diffuser with the intake filter of a resmed machine or something similar. Just make sure you don’t block it too much, I check by feeling the air temp. It rises when exhaling and just before inhalation it is already cool again, so I figure it should be OK.
Ok, the resmed intake filter seems to be busted.
Last night it got saturated with condensation, had issues with CO2, heated mask and also too much moisture in general.
Also the black dots are appearing, just like the filter of the p30i.
After removing the filter, the temperature inside the mask dropped and everything was ok again.
Except for the irritating sound of the ventilation that is.
Interestingly, my jaw was dropping with the filter still on (lack of oxygen I guess). The jaw dropping was causing massive leaks with the mask. It kinda stopped doing that after removing the filter.
So I recommend using some different type of filter.
I'm trying a small piece of G3 filter now. Iirc PLP is using the filters suited for extraction hoods. Which given their intended use should be able to handle condensation just fine I guess.

But let me try again with this F30i thing I got.
Hope that works for you.
I can relate to the mouth lekkage struggles.
But I guess that Ruud with double tape and double strap also needed to throw everything at it... so it can be a bxtch.

For the EPAP 10, to be honest I think sometimes I speak too early. Pardon me, my mind can be a bit all over the place, it's full crisis mode to be honest. Improvements were not really sustained at all, maybe they were all in my head and then got also aerophagia - the painful kind.
I will try EPAP 6 and PS 4 tonight. Theoretically that should be something at least remotely helpful assuming no leaks
It sounded that up to 10 you were fine.
For me the aerophagia has backed off to acceptable levels.
I do take some extra supplements that might have helped this process (magnesium, vit d, calcium, vit k1), but your mileage may vary.
Somehow I now also tolerate higher epap better than before.
Hope your step up helps
