Leaks

Has anyone had any problem with moisture accumulating in the (ComfortGel) mask and dripping on the face....thus being awakened because of a wet face?

Advice?

These are actually not "leaks" but condesation. This is called rainout. You can minimize this by insulating your hose or turning down the setting on your humidifier. It's caused by the air temperature in the room being lower than the air temperature in the hose. Warm are can hold more water, so as the air cools the water precipitates out of the air and on to your face. I use a heated hose that helps to eliminate this from happening.
