Jim - It seems to mee that something here doesn't quite add up. Rainout is a function of the amount of water vapor present (up to the max 100% RH) and of room air temperature. But you're in Dallas! That suggests that you could solve the problem just by setting the a/c temperature higher and sleeping warmer.

Some of the droplets represent water vapor (generated by the humidifier) that you didn't get to use in respiration. The rest are condensation from the water vapor you exhale at your body temperature of about 99degF. So I'm also wondering whether you really need to have the humidifier setting so high. When was the last time you tried lower settings? - and was it before you started using insulation on the hoses?
