Otherwise the venting seems to hit something (usually my arm) and annoy me. Filters are cheap.Īnd yes.I still use the filter diffuser but now in the bikini thong holder. If you are talking about the first homemade filter before Stuart came up with the bikini diffuser holder.I washed it about once every couple of months and when it got to the point that it seemed a bit too discolored after washing then I replaced it.
That got old real fast and I got lazy real fast and discovered that I didn't die or get sick if I didn't wash my masks and stuff very often. Never have with any of my masks after my first 6 months on cpap. When I did just wash it.it was maybe once a month. I suspect you are talking about the filter material in the bikini thong diffuser? I did get that also back last spring to demo and I just washed it for several months and only changed the material maybe 2 months or so ago. Just in case one of my cats decides the hose is a fine toy to play with but chances are slim.they have never really shown any interest in my cpap mask equipment stuff. The short hose got delegated to the "spare" equipment plastic tote.
Last spring I got a chance to demo the new updated hose and it is very much equal to the P10 hose IMHO and that is what I continue to use. Then someone tried the P10 hose on it so I tried it and I liked it as well. I know one other person who had trouble with the short hose coming off too easily but I never had that happen to me. I did use the short hose/tube for quite a while and I never had a problem with. Did you ever experience that problem with the short tube? If so how did you correct it? Do you also still use the filter attaching to the exhaust areas? Do you change the filter often? Pugsy, I know you have said previously that you are using the original tube and not the longer updated tube. I look at the minor accidents in the night like I look at the minor accidents I have had over the years with all the masks I have happens. It took me months to get to this point though. I never could easily master doing something backwards in the mirror so once I apply the ports I abandon the mirror. I don't even use the mirror anymore either. Now sometimes we do just simply get ourselves in a bind and maybe knock the connection loose and yes we are getting good when we can reattach in the dark. If the ports to connector are solid you won't be able to breathe easily. Do what I do after connecting the ports to the connector put the end of the hose in the palm of your hand to block it and then try to breathe in and out. The ports to the connector require lots of experience it seems. I somehow knocked one loose last night and was really pleased with myself that I managed to reattach it lying there in the dark. I'm now pretty good at applying the ports, though my skills attaching the dreamway connector are a work in progress. Took less than 5 minutes the first night I tried it. It sounds a lot more fiddly than it really was. The key is to get the hose to be well supported without being pulled away and yet not touching you. otherwise it would fall off of the shelf I keep it on and the weight would drag everything over. I used some spare velcro straps to hold my hose to the stand on the first part. To me, the retraction on the second part is too much to overcome on its own, while the first part has a relatively mild retention. It's quite possible the first part on its own is enough. Using the velcro that comes with it, you can support the hose so that it is more spread out than a simple up and over (which you can do with the first part on its own).
Instead, the center of the second part is supported by the loop in the first part. The second piece includes a self-adhesive pad that is NOT used. I use the system Stuart recommended, and it works great.Īpologies if this is already in the thread, but what exactly are the products that go into Stuart's system? I watched the video but couldn't catch what he was saying.
