Long hose for Airmini

Post by seth » Thu Aug 08, 2024 10:27 am

Is it possible to come up with a longer hose solution for the Airmini that still retains the HumidX?

No, proximity is KEY to the function of HumidX.

The goal is to increase the overall hose length. HumidX stays in place. I found a combination of two adapters that allow an extension at the machine side. Will give it a try.

Good luck.

I haven't tried it under pressure, but it all fits together reasonably well, if not super snug
One piece out of this kit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08JH5TYFT
An adapter like this (the one I am using came with the CPAP): https://www.amazon.com/Priority-CPAP-Su ... B0CVJ3F69T
And a hose like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GKBX88S

Here is what it looks like all together: https://photos.app.goo.gl/qom65M4XJhLdJgzS8
