I have been on CPAP for 10 years, next month. I currently am using a Sullivan Elite V machine, and I have a brand new Sullivan Mirage mask. Between the two, I have a Fisher-Paykel (I usually refer to it as "Fisher Price") heated humidifier. I have it on its lowest setting, as well. I kept having a problem with condensation, as well. I have seen a couple of earlier postings talking about the problem, and somebody mentioned there was a company who distributes an insulated sleeve, which goes over the hose, between the humidifier and your mask, and only cost $10.00!! I figured what the heck, for $10.00, I'm willing to take the chance, and if it doesn't do the job, I'm only out $10.00.

I went to the following website, took a look, and ended up ordering the sleeve:

I visited the website on Friday, placed my order over the Internet, gave my card number, etc., and hoped for the best. (It just so happens that this place is only about 150 miles from my home). On Monday, when I picked up my mail, lo and behold, there was an "express mail" package from Conjo Distributing!!! I couldn't believe it!!

I immediately took the hose off my mask and humidifier, hung it over the railing on our stairs, and slid it into the sleeve. Since that first night, I have had NO PROBLEM with condensation!! The actual cost for the sleeve is $10.00, plus $3.00 shipping and handling, and if you live in the state of Washington, another $.80 for Governor Locke.

Try it, I'm pretty sure you'll like it.
