I have a problem with condensation in my mask. I have sewn a sleeve for the tube and tried that along with turning down the humidifier to 2. Is there anything else I can try????

Hi Charle with a F!,

You are doing all of the right things!  Try running the hose under the blankets to help insulate it.  There is also a hose with an internal heating coil you can buy from an Australian company.  If you want to buy it, and no else PMs you the link, let me know.

Very Happy I am still getting the mask condensation depite turning the humidifier down and insulating the tube, so I have ordered the heated cpap tube and am looking forward to using it. Thanks for the link and tip.

I had to turn the heat down to 1 on mine.  I think that if you keep the AC down it makes it worse.  some times I just turn the heater off and let the air pick up what it will.
