Cold water in the tank works, but that makes me feel like I'm going to come down with pneumonia. Bringing in outdoor air can introduce pollutants.
I believe that there's no reason the air should feel warm/stale with a plastic rubber smell if:
you have :
1. a cool room
2. your intake filter is clean
3. your water in the tank is fresh and are using 'passover' humidification
4. Your hose and mask have been washed.
Am I missing something?
Why are you posting in this thread? You are trying to hijack a thread that was not about odors.
For better results, copy what you just posted and paste it in a new thread and title it, "warm/stale air with a plastic rubber smell".

You know this because your mother made you wear boxing gloves to be in order to reduce stains on the sheets?

I hated the whole idea of going to bed with a mask on. When I made a commitment to try to resolve this problem, it was only a few days before I stopped tearing it off in my sleep.
I think that's a pretty common experience around here. Given half a chance the human brain is incredibly adaptive.
I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.
