Notice this has no giant gaps in it?
But I woke up twice because my mouth was epicly dry. How can I check if a broke a heated hose? It doesn't seem to be working, but I'm in a chilly room so maybe things would be alot worse without it.
Is that leak rate maybe why the humifier didn't seem to be doing it's job? though juding by it went from max fill line to a little puddle it sure seems like it tried

Yeah, that's good news. Love the kitty pic, but then I've never seen one I didn't like
I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.

If you are mouth breathing a lot, no amount of humidity is going to make a difference. You might want to think about a chin strap. It is not affecting your therapy because you have a full face mask. It is till a problem because dry mouth encourages bacteria which destroy your teeth.

It was my first night at a higher pressure, and 20°F Colder in the room so I think my nose just got really angry with all the cold air it is the first time I had dry mouth issues.
I guess it never hurts to order a chinstrap anyways though.
