well, this is kind of embarrassing. my dry mouth has pretty much nothing to do with humidity. i've got that where i need it now. and my temp for the heated hose seems good as well.
no, instead is was my scunci rig. here i am, shooting off my mouth to all and sundry about how well i do with it. and typically, i do. but i found out that i didn't have things arranged just right.
part of my rig is a wee bit of cloth i use as a drool stopper. this is right against my lips and i pull the scuncis over this. it a wee cloth that one gets for cleaning eyeglasses. if you are a long time glasses wearer, your familiar with how this things can pile up. well, if you are a cheap b*stard like me, i guess!
the other night, my dry mouth hit me worse than ever. the next morning, i looked closely at my setup. no the bands weren't too stretched out. but looking more closely, a corner of said cloth was folded back against itelf, causing just enough space for air to get it.
i switched last night to a folded up kleenex. it covered my mouth fully and didn't allow any air in and out at the mouth.
voila! (wa-la as some would have you believe.) no dry mouth. and my graph is back next to no leak marks as well.
i feel so stupid that i didn't think of that but i'm so glad i eventually figured out.
