Just got the Vitera mask a couple of weeks ago, and I already love it. No problem with leaks, very comfortable! Easy to clean. I’m glad it doesn’t have magnets since I have a pacemaker which doesn’t get along with magnets. Thanks for your video.
Hi Thomas, thanks for sharing your experience with the Vitera. Glad to hear it's working out well for you. Nick

I went through a bunch of full face masks since 2018. I bought the Vitera around 3 months ago and I'm sleeping like a baby now. Wonderful mask indeed.💤
That's Awesome mate! Glad to hear it. Nick
so do i
I bought a Vitera full face mask about 5 weeks ago and it’s the most comfortable mask I’ve ever had. My only grievance is the clip that connects the mask to the tubing. It is very flimsy and has come off sometimes during the night. It can be pulled apart very easily with 2 fingers and in my opinion is totally inadequate for its purpose.
Sizing link does not work.
I have a beard and tried the Vitera..... Nope no good for me. Leaked like a sieve. Got my money back luckily.
The Vitera has venticool headgear that's breathable and it is a awesome mask
Hi Tim, thanks for sharing your experience with the Vitera. Certainly a great option. Nick
Looks like a great mask but you never showed how to don or doff the mask? Does it just a clip-on or do you have to undo the velcro every time? My full mask now I just pull a little cord on the right side and the mask unhooks from the harness.
You can use either method to take the headgear off and on. The clips aren’t magnetic but they remove easily enough from the face mask. Hope that helps, a year later.
I use it for 2 month and i love it so much . The only thing my eyelip is swell a bit in the morning , so if anyone have the same problem please let me know in the reply . Is it normal ? Thank you very much
Hi diane, perhaps you could try an eye mask under the cpap mask
thank you never thought of it ☺
I’ve used the Vitera mask for a few months. It’s good. As the pressure ramps up during the night, my mouth tends to open up due to a sinus condition of blocked nose, I get leaking around the corners of the mouth. Air seems to blow in my eyes. I have the size L. I’m wondering if I should have the size M? I feel it’s too big... any comments on this? I am planning on trying the ResMed F20 size M.
Hi Michael, thanks for sharing your experience with the Vitera. Here's a link to the size guide template resources.fphcare.com/content/vitera-sizing-guide-user-instructions-sui-620483.pdf which you can use to check your sizing. You might also like to check out my vid on CPAP pressure adjustments which will help you fine tune your therapy levels which will help reduce mask leaks and dry mouth etc. Here's the link - ruclips.net/video/pL4egwDrvbg/видео.html . The F20 is good mask too but i would try a few adjustments with your Vitera / machine before moving across to a different mask. Cheers mate. Nick

Any way of fixing the noise when breathing out ? The noise keeps me up and at night and I always wipe it to make the noise go away but never works . HELP !!!
Hi there, are you referring to the noise coming through the holes in the mask or the noise from the actual machine itself? Thank you
Great review! Thank you! What I wanted to know
Hum…I just bought the Vitera mask by itself and THOUGHT it would snap into the Resmed F20. No clue why I thought that🙄
I just found out about the Vitera mask while shopping for a new cushion for my Simplus mask. Do you know if the Vitera cushion fits the Simplus mask frame?
G'day and thanks for your comment. Unfortunately not. The Vitera cushion will only fit the Vitera Frame. It's a great mask and i highly recommend it. Best wishes. Nick
Does anyone know if FP Vitera is compatible with the ResMed AirSense10? This mask is very comfortable but it the vent built into the mask allows too much air to vent and my machine signals a weak seal every morning. Any help or direction is helpful.
Hello Mario, yes all masks are compatible with all machines except the resmed airmini machine which has a propriatry connection. Cheers
Nick
I have this problem as well, I also thought somehow AS10 doesn't read it well or something... Sometimes my AS10 would show a red face, and I can see in Oscar that I had leaks, but I never feel them, and when I wake up, my mask is on the face and it doesn't leak... On the other hand, I have F30i as well, which Oscar always shows no leaks at all, but I literary hear and feel the leaks into my eyes waking me up. Plus with f30i I have to crank the humidity almost to max in order not to get blood from my nose, and I don't like very humid air, with Vitera I can use it with medium humidity as it pleases me... I use L cushion, will try M and see how it's going on... Did you find any solution ?
@@janmagdevski4973 I did find that the Vitera would work with the Airsense 10. However, leaks were recurring and I switched to the ResMed Airtouch with a greater degree (though not consistent) of success.
I just tried the Simple’s tonight and it about blue my eyes out with wind gusts no matter how tight I made it.
The loud air blowing out of my cheeks was horrific.
This is getting returned.
I have the Eson 2 but I'm having issues with the flappy part under my nostrils obstructing my breathing maybe it's my nose shape. I spend a lot of time trying to find a comfortable position and trying to prevent air escaping. I would really like to try the Vitera I'm in NZ so fingers crossed the sleep clinic have this.
Best of luck
Can you use it with beard , i have a Philips but trouble with airleeks
I got my Vitera yesterday and let you know how I like it a couple days.
Sounds great Gary. Look forward to hearing about your experience. Nick
@@CPAPReviews I've been wearing the vitera for 3 and 1/2 weeks now I love it no leaks good seal. Wife says she can't hear it at all, and the seal is great.

The damn hose keeps coming off the mask! So I wake up at night with the hose unattached. Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play? Gasp, gasp, snort, snort. They need to design a clip or something that hooks the hose onto the mask. As currently designed, the rubber female end of the hose is just pushed onto the plastic male end of the mask. Eventually, the hose end get's stretched and won't stay on the mask.
Hi. I just started my CPAP journey and have a sleepstyle by f&p. I'm using eson 2 but have problems with my mouth popping open when I sleep and air escaping from the mask as soon as I move. If the vitara doesn't work are there other alternatives as in brands or is this it as far as quality goes.
Hi Gustav, the eson 2 is a pretty solid mask however if you are having mouth leak issues then you can either try using a Chin Strap or go to a Full Face mask. The Vitera is also a very good mask however all masks will work with all machines so you can certainly use for instance a ResMed or a Philips mask with your SleepStyle unit. Also that many people struggle with mouth leak especially in the early stages but normally over time people become use to breathing through their nose and keeping their mouth closed of a night. Like many things it just takes a bit of time. Some Other great full face masks include the F30i by resmed, the F20 by resmed, The DreamWear Full by Philips :). Have a great day. Nick
How is is this for a beard ? I’m due to get my first mask ever. Needs to be compatible with a beard and full face
G'day mate, unfortunately No full face mask is good with a beard. It's virtually impossible to get a good seal with hair between your mask. My advice would be to get practice with a nasal pillow or shave your face. Good luck ;-)
@@CPAPReviews oh god
Thank you very much! You forgot to show us how to take it off the easiest way.
Hi there, easies way is to just take off the bottom two clips and slide off over your head :-)

Good Video, Sir. I have a question I hope you might be able to help with. I have a Phillips Dreamstation with heated tube and have been using a nose mask with it. I need to add a full facemask to my collection for various reasons, but I notice the tube that comes with this is non heated. My question is, are the tubes mostly universal? In other words, can I use the heated tube from my existing Phillips Respironic mask with this mask? Thank you!!!
Yes you most certainly can. In fact, you can use any mask with any machine/tube except for the ResMed airmini which has a modified tube for the HME filter. On a quick note, just make sure you take out any quick release mask parts from old mask out of the tubing before inserting the tubing into the mask. If it it's not fitting, you must have part of the old mask stuck in the tube. Cheers
@@CPAPReviews Big gracias to you!
I love the vitera full face CPAP mask it helps keep you cool at night and everything so it's a very very good mask it helps heat and moisture to escape to keep you cool at night while during sleep
Thanks for sharing your experience Tim. Glad to hear you're enjoying the Vitera. Nick
I am a Simplus user and am considering the Vitera. My DME says I can buy the Vitera with all 3 sizes and the headgear for about $117. I realize I don't need all 3 sizes and I feel it is a waste of money to buy the S, and M, when I use the large, but I have heard the Vitera is a bit wider than the Simplus go guess maybe that is the way to go the first time usage. I find paying out of pocket for supplies is cheaper than using my insurance. Just shows the stupidity of the Health Care Industry in the US!
I got this with my hire cpap from you guys but I must have got the old headgear or something 😔 mine doesn’t have the breathable material at the back and has different clips
Hey Phillipa, I'm sure the team would be happy to swap it for that headgear however it's a bit of a gimmick so wouldn't worry to much unless you're getting hot throughout the night :-). Apart from that i'm sure the other headgear is doing a good job! Best wishes

Absolutely love Simplus, but keen to upgrade. Going to try this 🤞🏻
Hi Amanda, thanks for sharing your experience with the Simplus. Both masks are excellent and yes certainly worth a try next time your simplus is due for replacement parts. Cheers

I wanna buy an Evora cause it's so minimal.
Had a big problem with my Vitera swivel hose fitting: the air flow on mine is greatly reduced if the hose swings to the side. It's ok only if it's straight to the front and extended outward. As a new CPAP use, this is very distressing - but I'm determined to make it work somehow. Because I was straining to inhale unless I held it in place, I hot glued it. It worked great but it didn't hold as I slept and the reduced airflow was enough to actually wake me up struggling to breathe. So I re-glued it with e6000 rubber cement and that holds it in place so I can breathe now. ARGHH! Also, sometimes the silicone flap gets stuck and blocks my exhale. They for sure need to work out the bugs on this one. I'm now using a ResMed N30 and also ordered a DreamWear Full face bundle to try.
Got my Vitera today to replace mt Resmed F20. Can't wait to try it out.
Cheers Richard, let me know how you find it ;-). The viewers love real feedback from people like your good self
Which one did you like best?
Matt Black hi sorry for the slow response. I prefer the F20 still. It feels like it pushes the air stronger.
I just get my Vitera tune today from the VA, I'm going to try it out I'll let you know how I like it.
The F&P Vitera is the best mask I've used. I was previously using the Dreamwear Full Face mask.
If I use a Small F20 what sizes Vitera should I get?
Go Springboks rugby. :)
HAHAHAHA! No WAY!
Although i do have a couple of good SA mates ;-)
I dont like it, had mine since last year and it leaks air big time
Hi Myra, thanks for sharing your experience with the Vitera. Sorry it hasn't worked well for you. Cheers. Nick
