Too much humidity has been reported by some CPAPers to cause nasal congestion.

Unfortunately many people view heated CPAP humidifiers as something akin to to steam saunas. They are not. They are only designed to provide enough moisture to bring the air in the system up to normal room humidity levels (40 to 60%).TWW wrote:Yeah Rooster, but if I understood right, the OP was not having that problem with high humidity -- it was rainout, which impeded increasing the RH to address the dry mouth problem.

Must be a Virginia thing. Same thing happened to me last night after I added padding to the straps on my mask. But it seemed so darned tight.Needsdecaf wrote:I could not get the mask to stop leaking, and ended up not using it.

Here are some tips on using the Hybrid mask. Many of the tips will also apply to the Liberty.Needsdecaf wrote:
Need to play with the fit a bit more before I go to bed tonight. Damnit, I can live with the dry mouth, but can't they make a mask that freaking doesn't leak!!!!!
That is one of the are two reasons I always recommend the Hybrid over the Liberty. It comes with three sizes of mouth cushions (Liberty comes with only one) and three sizes of nasal pillows.Needsdecaf wrote:Yeah, I've been through those tips. I'm wondering if the mouth pillow size is too large (it's the large). It only comes with the one size, so I haven't ever been able to try the medium.
