I can relate! I had to stop using my Phillips due to a recall. Got a ResMed and worse mistake ever. I could use my Phillips and only go through a quarter to half of the water tank. Now my ResMed is completely empty each morning and it feels like my lips are stuck to my gums and the throat is dry. I've gone clear up to the #8 humidity setting and still dry. I've thought about trying a humidifier by the head of my bed. Best of luck.

Right I started out at 71 and within a few days I went to 64 that was alot better,now I'm at 60 this is the best for me I can feel the cool air when I breathe in and I sleep all night,but if it's hot in my mask I feel like I'm suffocating

My setting is lower than yours, but I suffer this same problem. My water lasts maybe three to three-and-a-half hours. When empty I wake to a dry nose and throat. Once I refill the "tank", I often can't get back to sleep, or do so only after a lengthy session of lying on the sofa (where I sleep) before getting in another hour or so of shuteye. A larger water holder would be very beneficial, especially as I need to raise my settings (which are too low for absoulate comfort even with water in the tank). Sadly, I imaging heating it might be an issue. Surely there must be an acceptable solution.

I hope your dr by now has said this - but this is part of the machine. It has a chamber built in that you fill with distilled water, like an iron. If you have an older machine call and tell them you are having dry nose and need one with a humidification feature.

Check the tank. Mine was doing that and found a small crack in it. It was leaking slow enough that it was evaporating on the hot plate so I didn't see a puddle until I left the full tank sit on my counter.

Yes. Call the medical supply house you picked it up from. They are familiar with ALL the options and technological updates and they will tell you to call your doc and what to ask for.

Try turning down your tube temperature,I started out at 71 but within a few days it was to hot a I couldn't breathe so I turned mine down to 60 and the cool air I can feel it going into my nose to my lungs and I slept all night.But try turning the tube temperature down and see if that works

@@KIMjB72 Thanks but The whole thing was a terrible experience for me. Instead I got a mandibular device mouthguard and don’t need cpap.

A question. What sort of mask do you use, and do you open your mouth while asleep? When I began using CPAP, I was primarily a mouth-breather as well as a snorer. I resorted to a jerry-rigged chinstrap made from an old military belt. (The several commercial chinstraps I tried were totally worthless.) That plus adjusting my tube/humidifier settings did the trick, for a good while. I'm now having dry mouth/throat issues again, I think because the mask cushions I get nowadays don't seem to be of the quality they were early on, nott sealing as well once the sleep setting kicks in. But that's neither here nor there, since it might not apply to you.

@@Decrepit_Productions Airfit f20 I like it. Works weather I breathe through my nose or mouth. I tried a lot of different masks and so far I like this one the best.
