Re: a thin line between dry mouth and rainout

Just an idea, since we just had a snowstorm here.

Since you aren't adverse to using a little bit of extra electricity how about wrapping the short p10 hose with a length of pipe heat tape! :oops:

Re: MedLock - Neat Product

So two scenarios: Will those magnets give us cancer like some claim 5g, cell phones, electrical power lines, telemetry of hydro meters. portable home phones etc. Or will it cure OSA like magnets placed on strained muscles or those healing electromagnetic wrist bangles.

Re: Oracle 452

Have you looked at the resmed f30. It is a modified full face mask in that it covers your mouth but fits under you nose.

Re: Sore under nose from nasal cushion

I had the same problem with the P10 even after using it for a year and went from the med to large which was better( hoped the skin would toughen up ) I have now switched to resmed n30 mask size small and found I no longer have sores but the leak rate is higher.
