Well I was wrong on all accounts. When I realized it did it on every piece of equipment I have, with every topper and then as the day progressed today, I'm guessing I have a sinus infection. The verdict isn't entirely in but I had others try my equipment and it works fine for them. So, either in a day or two I'm going to have a full blown sinus infection or something else is going on that I can't figure out. It's definitely with ME and not my equipment. I've never had this happen in my life. I have to try various angles on my lips to get it not to do that. It's not actually sucking but it FEELS like it is.
