I had to set my HC150 just a tad lower (from 3 to 2.5) but really not much different than the Breeze or Opus from my own experience.

President-pretender, J. Biden, said "the DNC has built the largest voter fraud organization in US history". Too bad they didn’t build the smartest voter fraud organization and got caught.

I'm not having any problems now, but I bet this winter this one's a leaker. I use a heated hose in winter, so hopefully that will help, and I hope I'm wrong.

I turned down the humidifier a click and it helped tons. Plus we seem to be having monsoon season up here. I'm incredibly glad this is not snow! We've got some kind of omega system that just does not want to budge....for days and days so far. Humidity had not been a problem.

Winter may be interesting with this mask. I'm saving up the pennies for a heated hose.

I did have a lot of rainout with it the first days. I made it a little mini hose cover - wrapped super well and no more rainout. My heated hose helps as well but it was the mini-hose cover that clinched the last drops.

Hi,

I've had some problems with mine.
Getting the humidifier the right temp seems to have helped. I tried adding a hose huggie and that seemed to make things worse. One day I rolled over a bit and got a nose filled of water. That will wake you in a hurry!
That is when I removed the hose huggie and went for humidifier temp changes.
It's quite warm, and we have had the AC running 24x7. So the AC is adding to the problem.
I am a new cpaper just started my eighth week today.
I hope this does not continue to be an issue because I really do like my LT.

Dennis
