It's my "Dream Machine".

I call my mask "Snog" (consistent with the British use for the term)

.... or sometimes "Snort"
I'm workin' on it.

That's really funny, because one of the things I said to my wife as I was setting the machine up at home was "you know, of course, that this setup makes it all but impossible for me to be subjected to the Dutch oven."

Darth. Because my first machine and mask was pretty noisy with breathing noises.

Thank goodness I only had that one for a week, and my S9 is sooooo quiet....but Darth stuck.

You guys challenged me---
OK, I got it: I want to call my machine Dumbo.
My Dumbo, like the original, is far more capable than at first glance.
All it takes is a little faith in yourself to soar like a eagle.
What better way to fall asleep than being kissed by a sweet little elephant.
--But if that mouse shows up; I can't be responsible!

I'm just relieved the thread is about cpap ! I had to giggle when I saw the title ! Oh Yeah..I call mine the Hummer..It is very quiet but there is still a slight humming I Find very soothing.
