I had condensation in the tubing and then bought a hose cover....
Didn't help much. I finally placed the CPAPmachine on a stool lower than the bed, bought a hose hanger(from cpap.com) and that did the trick! No More Condensation issues!

Isn't it wonderful when things start to come together and you realize you are beginning to feel better? Kind of makes you feel like a kid again doesn't it?

Yes, I went from my beloved OptiLife pillow mask to the RespCare Hybrid mask because I was losing therapy air via puffs from mouth (jaw closed). I like pillows so this full face mask is great, covers mouth and does not cover the nose or touch the forehead.

PS If my humidifier is set too high, I get rainout in my pillows...warm exhaled breath condensing on cold silicon pillow. I made a fleece cover for my hose and do not get rainout in the hose...haven't figured out how to make a cover for my pillows .
