The aromatics are awesome! New tubing and mask parts always start off with a chemical funk,
and there is always something different to smell. (I moved my boots, but I still can't find what it is)
It helps even things out a bit, but doesn't prevent me from smelling the rain if the window is open.

I just wish I would stop passing gas in my sleep... the machine sucks it up, seemingly concentrates it, and blows it back in my face!
Talk about running yourself out of a room!! Got to quit that pinto bean, cornbread, and onion meal... NOT!

Sure would like to get my head on one of those pillows to test out......for my problem.

My problem is my chin tucks at night partly closing my airway. I've tried the neck brace idea to keep my head from dropping but can't tolerate it for no more than a few hours.

Thanks

Easy fix, get a piece of charchoal filtering material that is meant for a furnace air filter, cut it so it's just a small piece that sits over the washable filter on the outside of your machine. The pressure drop across the material will be minimal, it should have no impact on the machine, but it will deactivate any reactive/smelly gases that try to get into your machine.

I've been doing it with my PRS1 since I got it since the nature of the machine is to sorta concentrate air into a higher pressure column, so I it does amplify smells. I find it works quite well. I had to do it because of my dog, his flatulence at night could peel the paint off of a wall.

I just keep my covers tucked in on my side until the green cloud abates.

Will definitly have to try this trick. Thanks!

Are your sure it was your dog? My dad use to blame it on an imaginary frog... I wanted to stomp that frogs head!!

(Hiding and quivering). You are aware what a frog does when he or she is scared?
Thank you, now I have to mop!

I can't help but notice that alabamaal's representation here is a frog on it's back... dead?

My guess, he's one of the really brave frogs, and that belly is working on a garter snake.
Never underestimate my people!

Yeah, they actually warned me about it when I got him as a puppy, apparently his mother dog was really bad, as was her father dog, etc... apparently it is a doggy genetic thing.

I suppose they don't call a group of frogs an ARMY for nothin, eh?

Can I get a pillow. I never seem to be able to find a pillow that works for me. Within. WeEk or so it's flat. If I buy I firmer one it stays too firm. I know I will sleep better when I find the right pillow.
So, sleep guy, can I be a volunteer?
Ca based. Maybe I can help you move more pillows out here?
Either way, I'd love to try them! Especially since they are being developed by people with sleep issues.
