If the heated tube works with your machine I would try that. They also make covers for your tubing which may help some. I think the heated tube may be your answer. Keep us posted.

Richard, some folks just use the humidifier in a Passover mode. They just don't turn it on, but let the air pick up moisture without heat.

Hi Richard, I don't bother with a humidifier. Someone on the forum suggested not using it and I'm a lot less congested without it. A good AHI is under 5. I use the Wisp and have been since it came out. I think it's a great mask.

Glad to hear it's working, Richard.

Richard, as a fellow member of the forum and on behalf of The SleepGuide Crew I would like to welcome you to SleepGuide. We range from the yet to be diagnosed and newbie to those on the machine for many years. I have logged 3 1/2 years. Please feel free to start a new discussion or post to one in progress- you never know when your comments will help someone else. Some threads are a little political right now, but that just depends on who is around and posting. If I can be of any help navigating the site, feel free to contact me.
