Nice hose, crappy CPAP.

:lol: MG!!!

I am so highly suggestible and OP, spiropulsator is such a salesman!


I use the Dreamwear Mask and never even see or feel my hose as it's over my head and out of the way ...

...but I WANT ONE OF THESE?? LOL

I must be totally embracing being sick now that I want accoutrements and upgrades. :(

Maybe OUR CPAPTALK sponsors can capitalize and find the best (and safest, Jim) version of this type of hose?
With the optimum diameter? Or dreamwear or another manufacturer should make a special version?

I checked the price and one tube is just under $30.00 with free shipping. I expect the ones used in hospitals are from china. I like heat though but but would be good in warm weather.

The silicone tube is very nice to touch.
In order not to get tangled, I often put under pajamas, fasten buttons and I can easily fall sideways.
I can not imagine with a plastic tube.

Do it right, you can have a body-heated hose by running it through the warmest areas :wink:

If I had breasts, heating would be more effective.
