Any ideas as to why I get horrible rainout with the Comfort Lite 2 but have no rainout at all with the Swift?
I really like the Comfort Lite 2 - really is more comfortable and seals very well (with the cushions, haven't found a nasal mask yet that fits my nose). But I get horrible rainout even with a hose cover and the humidifier at the lowest setting. Yet I can use the Swift, humidifier at highest setting, no hose cover, and get no rainout.
Sadly, the Swift makes my teeth hurt.

heated hose
I love the ComfortLite 2.
I have the HH set at 4 using australian heated hose no rain out at all.

I also have the same problem with the CL2 so I mostly use my swift. There are a few here that have used the heated hose to help with rainout with the CL2, I think one is DME_Guy if my foggy brain is correct. I hopefully will be able to get one in the not too distant future.
I have used my CL2 a few times with no rainout by cutting the end of a heavy sock and placing it over the nasal cushions. Being careful to cut out enough room for the nasal cushions to come through the fabric. I keep this in place by using a small rubber band around the fabric. The main idea is to keep the cooler room air from touching the nasal cushion and causing condensation. It worked for me.
Oh, I almost forgot I also wrap some light fabric around the short hose on the head gear to help keep condensation out of that.

To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.
