I went and looked at the model of my machine and I was in error. It is a Resmed Sullivan V Lightweight and I have a standalone Resmed Sullivan Humidaire humidifier. Ironically, it is made in Sydney, Au. It has been a great machine. Started using it in June 2000. It is a little large to travel with c...

I have a humidifier attached to mine also. It's a seperate unit.

Have had my Respironics unit since 2000. Use it every night. Hasn't skipped a beatt.

tried a nasal mask at first but it leaked and, worse, tickled my nose to the point of misery. Switched to nasal pillows and never looked back.

Just for clarity, that is not a DC power supply. It is a female cigarette lighter socket with battery clips.

I see from reading the rest of your post that you are using a humidifier. cancel what I said. What is a 'tank'?

not sure what the 'tank' is but if you are used to using a heated humidifier and now you are not using it, that is your problem.

ok, that makes no sense whatsoever

I'll also throw in my opinion. I use Adam's Circuit and used to use Breeze. I also sleep on my side and the exhaust really bothered me. Couldn't sleep under covers because the noise was too loud anytime the exhaust blew on covers or pillow. Also bothered my wife when I faced her.

Please explain how your mask exhaust bothers you or your bed partner.

yes, the small ones are slimming black

that was me. just not signed in.

still have them if anyone is interested

I also use nasal pillows and have tooth movement. Mine is from tongue thrust, i.e. tongue pushing against back side of teeth causing them to spread apart. SOunds like yours are doing just the opposite.
