That is one of the most expensive that I have seen. Do you have a source with a low price?

I completely fill the water chamber with ice cubes. This gives me cool air to breather rather than heated air. Every once in awhile I have to use a second dab of the dry mouth gel but not too often.
ice cubes? That's interesting. I set my humidifier lower because I don't like the heat of it (I don't like being warm period) Does the blower melt the cubes to provide the liquid? Or do you put some liquid in there with them?
