I sure did: Went to bed right after work and got close to 12 hours' sleep. Zonked right out and the next thing I knew the alarm was going off.

I think I may have dreamed about pirates.

Got the same problem this week with my Remstar M Series Pro CPAP. Forgot the humidifier tank on the counter and discovered this 350km from home.
Indeed, connecting my 2 meters tube to the inside port outlet of the humidifier was giving only full blast pressure no matter how much I played with pressure adjustment.

Managed to get it to work by using the swivel tube of my Resmed mask inside the humidifier housing . See part:
https://www.cpap.com/productpage/Resmed ... berty.html

I connected the small tube from the mask to both ports where the humidifier should have been (removed the hard plastic adaptor and only kept the tube). I connected my 2 meters (8 feet?) tube to the regular outlet of the humidifier. It did the job. Pressure was somehow different and I added and extra cm of pressure.

Have you considered buying a back up tank and keeping it packed all the time?

My adapter plate stays in my CPAP bag. Not necessarily for backup use, but because it's a handy place to keep track of it.

This is the same machine I use. I just got a new humidifier. If It is just the chamber you need I will be more than happy to send mine. They sent me the whole unit with a new chamber. My email address is oceangoinggal@verizon.net send your address and I will get it in the mail for you.
