Ditto on the conjo insulating sleeve. I have it on my hose and it does help. The cost is only about $10 each. Check http://www.owt.com/conjo/index.htm. In addition, keep most of the hose lower than your mask and supported so that any condensate tends to run back into the humidifier and not allowed to accumulate in a low spot of the tube. Finally, I find that the level of condensation is very touchy in relation to the heat setting on my humidifier. At 7 on a scale of 8, I get lots of condensate, but at 6, I get almost none, yet use nearly the same amount of water. Try reducing your heat setting about half, then increasing a little each night until you start getting too much condensation. Then back it off to the highest acceptable setting.

Good luck

Charlie
