I'm a little confused by this. I have all three types of dreamwear masks and they all use the same elbow on the top of the mask frame. It attaches to a resmed heated hose cuff normally. No tape or adapter needed. Maybe I'm not understanding what you are doing.nr224 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 26, 2018 9:32 pmUpdate! I've been on PAP therapy for a little while now. Still getting used to it. You guys are amazing how well you all adjust, reading on here. For me, I just couldn't stand the hose coming out of my face so I bought the Phillips Dreamwear. Someone online said they were using it with their Resmed device, which was surprising, but I didn't care -- I bought one anyway, because I just can't sleep with that hose.
Well, I got the mask now, but... it doesn't connect to my heated hose thing. So, is there anything special I have to do to get it to connect? I tried removing the little white plastic piece, tried connecting it to a smaller hose the Brevida mask came with, etc... no luck. Before I duck tape it together, any advice?

Re: Rebreathing air
The "little white plastic piece" is part of the brevida mask. The end of *ALL* cpap hoses is a soft rubbery sleeve.nr224 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 26, 2018 9:32 pmWell, I got the mask now, but... it doesn't connect to my heated hose thing.

Remove the plastic bit. Just wiggle it sideways till it ends up getting loose.

Re: Rebreathing air
Look carefully in the end of the long hose because there must be something stuck in it preventing the hose from attaching to the mask.
This mask will attach to the ResMed heated hose just fine without any added pieces.
I suspect a part came off one of your other masks and is stuck in the long hose.
You shouldn't have to tape them together.. I have this mask and this hose and they do fit together without anything special.
