Don't get me wrong. I use distilled water at home and on the road here in the U.S. But when I cannot find it (in Japan for example) then I use tap.

I'm a little surprised that no one has chimed in here. I'm sure you'll get other replies soon. I travel to Japan 2 - 3 times per year. I do not take distilled water with me as I really don't want the added weight and possibility of having my clothing soaked should the container burst! I have not loo...

Do not assume that your CPAP bag will not be counted as a carry-on. Sometimes it is counted and sometimes it is not. Depends on the airline, the gate agent, etc. I mostly carry-on my machine, but have packed it snugly in checked luggage as well. I travel quite frequently and have not had any issues ...

Good Grief

I agree with bookwrm63. This man has repeatedly answered your questions. If he was trying to dodge anyone why would he be hanging around answering all of your questions? I'd have stopped long ago if I was just trying to get one past you. Sheesh.

Thank you for all of the replies! I slept in the back of my Tahoe with the CPAP machine going all night. The Tahoe started right up in the morning. I did not hook up my heated humidifier or the heated hose.

I flew Southwest last month. I had my carry-on luggage, plus my laptop w/case and my CPAP w/case. I got stopped while waiting on the jetway to board and was told that I would have to check one of my bags because I was over the limit of two. I told him that one of my bags was a medical device and tha...

If I hooked up my cpap to my Chevy Tahoe's power outlet, would I run the battery down too far to start the truck in the morning?

Hello "Gonzo"! I would say that it sounds like it is working for you. You may not feel much of a difference, but I bet that if you start to monitor your blood pressure, you will see a marked improvement. As for me, having a CPAP machine has made a world of difference. I am most definitely getting a ...

I recently went to Japan on a business trip and did not feel like carrying on my CPAP machine. I just made sure I packed it in my checked luggage amongst my clothes really well. It made it to Japan and back with no issues.

I get my Aura today. I will use it tonight and give you guys another perspective. I have been a CPAPer since January and do not have any issues with the mask I currently have (I forget what model mask I have but it's the standard over the nose type).

Long time lurker, first time poster. I am one of the lucky ones and have taken to my CPAP machine quite well. I am definitely getting quality sleep and I am no where near as tired during the day than I was before CPAP . These boards are a wonderful source of info and your thread will soon have many ...
