Humidifier and pressure relationship?

Post by hobbs » Sun Jun 01, 2014 4:25 pm

Stopped using the heated hose and humidifier on my S9 a few nights ago to see if I can travel for (3) weeks to S.A. without it in October. AHI has remained about the same (.3-.6), but pressure has increased from the 9.6-10.8 range to the 10.4-11.9 range. Not as comfortable without it, but I could deal with it for a few weeks. It would be much easier to travel without it and the extra room in the bag will come in handy.

If you repeated your experiment for two weeks even then the probability that it is so would be below 50%.
