Hey, I totally relate to what you're dealing with — I also use a Z2 Auto for travel and really miss the humidification when I’m away from home. The HME devices can be hit or miss depending on the mask setup. Since your N30i has the top-of-head connection, yeah, it’s just too far from your breath to...

It’s a shame there can be such a stigma attached to using the machine. I don't think there's a stigma. I just think the machines are a pain in the ass. I've gotten to the point--after almost a decade of CPAP use and trying a variety of masks--where the machine is mostly not uncomfortable: It's just...

Has anyone had any dealings with Sleeplay.com? I am looking a purchasing a BiPap machine from them and want to know if they are a legitimate and reliable company. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks I ordered my new AirTouch mask and headgear from them. It arrived promptly and in perfect conditio...

I've been using the AirTouch N30i for a couple of weeks now. I replaced the headgear (the back strap) with the Dreamwear Headgear w/Arms, because that setup helps to keep the whole thing from sliding over my long hair (sleeping with my hair up gives me a headache). Works great that way. So far, my l...

When the Bleep Eclipse was new, I ordered it to try. No matter what I did, including talking to some guy at the company, I couldn't get comfortable with the weight of the magnets. So it's barely used--the kit is just short a few halos and cleansing wipes. None of the halos I tried broke or ripped or...

I need to replace the headgear for my Airfit N30 mask (I use it with my Z2 travel CPAP). I’m confused because I keep seeing these marketed as fitting both the N30 and the P10, except in some places the description states that these headgear straps are NOT interchangeable. Can anyone verify that they...

Does an adapter exist to allow an Airsense Mini tube to be connected to my Z2 machine? I don't understand your problem exactly, but this adapter may work - https://www.cpap.com/productpage/z1-z2-tube-adapter I have that. It allows a regular hose to be plugged into the z2 Auto. It won't work with th...

I have a Z2 Auto, which I've been pretty happy with overall, but lately I've been finding that I really need some humidification when I sleep with my CPAP (Airset 10). The problem is that the HME device I bought for travel doesn't work with my mask (Airfit N30i), likely because the HME has to be ins...

Oura rungs and smart watches give you more information than a pulse oximeter. They can help you track the quality of your sleep. They track stages of sleep, time in sleep, arousals, movement, blood oxygen levels, pulse, respiration rate, heart rhythms, ambient noise. That said, whether they are acc...

The guys over at SleepHQ are a bit enthusiastic about their gadgets.

Are they selling gadgets?

"Magic Uploader" and "O2 Ring."

Is there a good reason to supplement my sleep info (from my CPAP) with an O2 ring, like the one sold by SleepHQ? If you don't have any lung or heart pathologies, a pulse oximeter will not add any information of value. Concentrate on AHI, leak level, and sleep hygiene. Thanks. That's what I was gues...

2) Does anyone know how the Oura ring compares?

You can ignore the occasional dry mouth, but be sure to maintain oral care. Extractions are NO FUN--just been there today. The bridge is going to break the bank. Knock wood, but my teeth are one place I've had no trouble at all, before or since starting CPAP therapy 7 years ago. I'm sorry you had t...

I just read through the "Hints from Forum Veterans" sticky. I have a couple of simple (I hope!) questions: 1) If I wake up with a mouth that feels glued closed or otherwise just dry, but my nose isn't bothered by dryness, can I assume that the dryness is due to mouth breathing and not humidifier iss...

I thought I really liked my z2 auto at first, but now I'm having a lot of trouble with the humidity factor. I replaced the humidity exchanger (or whatever it's called), but I'm still waking up after a few hours with an uncomfortably dry mouth and throat. This doesn't happen nearly as badly at home w...
