Yes, this helps a lot. Thank you!

I know they have their air mini version that is very similar to the regular version with the exception of the hose. Are the nasal pillows interchangeable between the regular P 10 and the air mini version of P 10? I considered buying the mini n30 and wondered if the cushions were the same for both versions.

I would think if that allowed me to use the humidifier that might be a way to go.
It appears that the regular P10 cushions do fit the AirMini P10. The rest of the mask is a bit different as the exhaust mesh is closed off to push the exhale air through the humid x
So then MAYBE it would be worth it to buy with the airmini N30 (my current mask is N30) and be able to use the humidifier?

I don’t recall if anyone was able to use the humidifier or not and whether ot works well?

Or maybe folks just using the hose adapter have been more the rule than the exception and weren’t able to test drive th humidifier?

I'm following along here in regard to inline hose humidifiers. I've never used one and from what I've read in the past they do not work all that great. Interesting reading about peoples experiences with them. I might try one inline with my Z2 hose and see if it helps at all. I imagine it needs to be mounted close to the mask, probably making the hose heavy?

I saw pics at the various shopping outlet websites and it looked like it was close to the mask.

It makes sense that it would be close in order to recycle and not lose the moisture.
