Every 3 days or so, I seem to notice a musty smell. I use a heated humidifier. I rinse it out well, refill and no more musty smell. I got sucked in to ordering replacement stuff by the schedule so I've got 4 hoses I'm able to rotate. I do like the drying rod idea! Thanks! I got a bunch of nose pillo...

I recently started using a chin strap again after realizing my mouth opened periodically during the night. (without one of those fancy machines, I was under the impression I had this under control until I asked my wife if I was still blowing in the wind. She said yes). Anyway... I have always had TM...
