It's interesting that you’ve noticed the difference, because I’m only able to get rainout when the atmosphere humidity is “absolutely highest” and I’ve set the effect to max. If I recall correctly that has happened twice during the last three months.

I always use the max effect (around 80W) with nasal and FF masks without any rainout. Obviously you have so high atmosphere humidity where you live that you can notice the difference.

That makes me wonder if my heated humidifier is too week after all. I use almost the whole container of water every night, but I that varies a bit though.

Hmmnnn… maybe it’s time to put two more facts into my sleep diary to figure this out – atmosphere humidity and the amount of water used.

Sorry that I can’t give you an explanation but this is interesting enough to spend some time to. If I figure it out I’ll let you know.

Tnx - Peter
