This has just started happening lately and I can’t figure out why. It’s not coming from tank because my hose goes over the top of my headboard and then down to me. I do keep it cold in my room (65) and I have a fan on the side table that blows on my face. I do have a heated hose and a crocheted sleeve on my hose. Except for the last 10 inches. It’s make it difficult to breathe and I have water dripping from the P10. Any suggestions to try? Thanks Michael

Except for the last 10 inches.

it may jolly well be that last ten inches. find an old sock, cut a hole in the toe and cover it up. it's what i had to do with my p10.

and find some rubber bands to hold that sock in place.

good luck!

It is called "rainout".
We use heated hoses to prevent it.
A must if you are dedicated to sleeping in the cold,
and a hose cozy doesn't hack it.

See my posts number 2 and 3 at the above link for various options to reduce/prevent rain out (condensation in the mask or hose).

You have some options...first one and probably the easiest is to warm up the hose air temp a bit and see if that helps or not.
If not available (increasing hose air temp) then you might try adding some sort of hose cozy on the last 10 inch short hose that isn't covered.

Right now I have tube temp set at 65 and humidity level set at 2, what should I bump up temp to?

Whatever works.
Start by upping it 5 degrees, wait a few days, repeat, repeat, repeat until it works.
