Hi. I have exact same problem but my pressure is only at 9. I found that in my deepest sleep my body will suck in air from the smallest gap between mouth and tape. I now find myself using more than one piece of tape but have some tender spots around my mouth from pulling tape off. Am also going to try mirage FF mask next week -- sounds like others have had mixed results so am trying not to expect this to be an easy solution. Anyway, I doubt if it is your pressure setting causing problems.
