Water In Face

RE: Water In Face
Lucid: yes the temp does get down to 66 some times and high humidity too at times. I am in northern California.

Deborah: that hose hanger looks perfect. Thank you.

Sorry about the DEM site post. I did not realize/think about it. I just wanted feed back on the hanger.

RE: Water In Face
Regardless of how we set the machine, we are also exhaling into the mask air that's been conditioned by our nasal passages and is even warmer and more humid than what comes from the machine.  

In my case, the water coming out of the mask was startling rather than problematic, but I guess it would depend on how long one slept at the low temperature, if that's what's causing it, and mask configuration, as well.

There's no getting around the fact that warm, humid air will be in the mask because the body has to warm up and humidify air to around body temperature before it gets to the lungs to avoid damaging them.  Thus, exhaled air is going to be warm and humid.  I wish I could remember where I was reading about that...

I hope you'll report back on what changes work best for you, it will be useful to me and others.

No water problems last night. I changed the tube temp from 70F to 80F, and I changed the humidity from 4 to 5. I am getting the hanger Deborah recommended too
