Condensation in Hybrid mask??

Post by Piper_J » Mon Oct 02, 2006 2:48 pm

Hello,
I have a new Hybrid mask that I finally got the leaks fixed on - Thanks forum! I had to remove it last night because of condensation on my lip right below the nasal pillows (and yes I'm sure it's condensation! )

The tube was completely dry and my HH was set at 1. Is it possible that I need to turn up the HH? Has anyone else run into this issue?

Thanks, Jerry

I turned my down to one from two when I started useing the Hybrid. One seems to do it for me.

I've had to turn mine off and use it in passover mode... way too much humidity for me.

funny. I started out having to turn my down to 2 but now I'm back up to 4.5.
I occasionally get condensation in the pillows but not much.
I like the air humid. And this time of year where I live it gets pretty hot and dry. So it probably depends on your local weather conditions or how dry the air is in your house..
