For this problem which we call "rain out"...it's condensation in the hose and/or mask...see this thread posts #2 and 3 for various options depending on the machine and mask you are using.

Ok. Just turned the heat up to 68. I had it off to prevent extra vinyl odor. We'll see if it is an acceptible trade.
