This video is a public service. Been using a CPAP since 2005, and I'm *very* particular about my mask (F&P's Pilairio Q). I was about to click "proceed to checkout" on my cart that included an AirMini to be my travel/backup CPAP, but then I noticed the proprietary connection. I was about to abandon my cart, but then I thought to google around to see if there was a workaround. And then I found this video. The website I was on also carried the Zephair connecter adapter, so I added that to my cart and just completed the purchase about 10 minutes ago. Thanks mate!
@@cyrannodbI’ve read that the Airmini is very loud. Do you believe this is true? I’m also searching to see what I should purchase for my travel machine.
@@LisaNix2 it's louder than the regular model, since it doesn't have any of the physical noise suppression elements in order to make it travel sized. I personally don't find it excessively loud, but I also am not easily bothered by noise, so I might be the best person to ask. 😁
I just bought this machine last month, I have the mini nasal mask that just fits in your nose, with the built-in humidifier...best machine I've had, easy to carry, got the battery with it good for 2 nights so I can go camping, and use the car charger on the way home or wall charger when staying at a hotel or someone's home ...
Another thing you can do if you get the Medlock adapter and have an F20 full face mask is use the Resmed HumidX F20 HME filters. That would be a full face mask with humidification that's quieter than the standard air mini masks with a quick disconnect.
I just bought an AirMini with battery to take on long flights and to use on the trip. I'm surprised to learn about the mask noise it makes. I've read about some people talk about collapsable hose and or muffler to quiet it down. ResMed says the noise is a common complaint and they don't have any info on what if anything helps with it. I'd love to hear about a noise test with these type devices and find if anything actually helps. I'd expect you probably have most of these items and testing would be easy and a popular video with all mini owners. I'm thinking I should have picked up a used Resmed S9 and traveled without the humidifier part. Thx for all your videos.
I bought this device and was having a rough time with the CO2 exhalation noise using a Dreamwear/F30i mask with the Zephair adapter. I was ready to get rid of it as I can’t do frontal support masks but as a last ditch, I tried the Breas Qlite muffler. GAME CHANGER! my ahi hasn’t changed, I may ramp up my pressure a bit but I’m very pleased and haven’t used my Dreamstation 2 in a while…..
The "proprietary" part that the poster cut is supposed to accept the humidifier packs. The mini doesn't have an integral humidifier like the bigger machines... so you lose that feature when removing that part.
The humidifier packs don't even come close to an actual humidifier chamber. More of a gimmick and a way for them to try and get people to buy ResMed masks. When I travel I use the mask I want to use and go without the joke of the humidifier packs.
Lifesaver for yet another reason. Just found your site. That Medlock Magnetic Adapter seems like the solution to my regular hose deteriorating at the connection (I guess from all the twisting & bending over the years). I previously duct-taped the hose where it tore but gave up & bought a new hose. My current hose is about to spring a leak and I'm chuffed that I can cut off the thin, worn part and use the Medlock to repair it. Just one other comment - pls answer all questions. It's far better to get an "I don't know" rather than be ignored. You've got a great site, so do the right thing and not be like so many other posters.
My solution to the noisy humidX chamber was to remove the humidX filter first then remove the chamber from the hose. After that I let running watter flow from the cap side of the chamber for 10 seconds to let the foam settle into the holes. I then assembled it again without the humidX and let the machine run with my hand plugging the nose/mouthpiece. The foam then completely settles into those small holes below the chamber. Voila, no more noise. Added thing, never spray lysol on your humidx chamber. It seems to melt that foam I was talking about.
I used the wessle to remove the foam on my dreamstation. It's only a tiny bit louder. Going to try it for the 1st time tonight. Woo-hoo, no snori. I'm so excited.
I like this for a different reason. I"ve got a Z1 machine and I use an N20 mask. In the past when I wanted to use the airmini hose with the Humidx I had to cut and seal a connector from an old hose to connect the airmini tube to my Z1. that little magnetic connector will make it easier! Thanks!
You can also use a DreamWear mask with the N20 adaptor and keep the HumidX by fitting the N20 elbow inside the DreamWear quick release fitting. The problem though with using the AirMini with some masks, specifically the DreamWear, is the AirMini is bloody noisy compared to an AirSense 10 and it's super distracting when trying to get to sleep.
when u say adaptor u mean connector right? and n20 elbow then to the quick release of the dreamwear mask but i dnt see how it goes on to the quick release from the elbow????
man, how long I've been looking for such an adapter....Swift FX fan here and have been buying new old stock for some time. Just bought one. International shipping costs a fortune though. But it'll be worth it. Now I just need some company to ship me a battery....thx for that video!
Interesting, however you don´t need to cut the tube, the little lip inside the Redmed connector fits on the standard cpap connector. I use it all the time like this and it has never failed.
Love the simplicity of this machine fist night using it and I’m still awake at 4.15am from the loud whooshing sound through my nasal mask - what an absolute shame
Love the hack - but I need the Humidx module. Can you insert the medlock above the humidx module? Visually the diameter of the hoses seem compatible. It would definitely make the hose from the face longer before the Humidx module, but wasn't sure if the added length would effect the Humidx efficiency.
Thanks for the vid! Any chance you know of a way to connect tubing besides the magnets? I love the thread idea, just would love to not have the extra weight. It can be a permanent solution, rather than magnetic. Thank you
Dear Uncle Nikko I am going to try this with the new Bleep set up. Ill send you gthe bill if i need to replace it. Of course I am kidding. Appreciate you !
Thank you for these great videos. I just got the mini for travel. IT IS SO MUCH LOUDER than my Airsense 10. I'm looking for some sort of muffler to help reduce the loud inhale/exhale. Your video to switch to a regular mask...how do you use it without humidity. I need the humidity. Any help would be great!
Just got this machine and had an awful experience while traveling. I use the ResMed 10 with the Philips dreamware mask and it’s great for home use. How can I make up something using the mini and the dreamware mask while keeping the humidity disc setup/noise level down?
Gidday Nick, if I purchase the ZephAir adaptor for the Airmini can I use my F30i mask???. I have Googled, asked the So Called Experts and searched high and low but I'm lead to believe "No", your look on this would be appreciated. Cheers from Central QLD
Hey Nicko! I'm a truck driver over here in the States, just got a new air 11, do you know if you can use the air mini 12v dc converter with the air 11?
Can you do a video with the complete SoClean Cpac connection and full cleaning. No one has shown how to actually do the setup or cleaning connection with the tube.
great video ! thanks. Question if I may. I have just bought the AirMini and my fav mask currently is the N30i. how best to use it but also have the HumidX inline ???
Hey legend, you can't use the N30i with HumidX as for HumidX to work it needs to be near your mouth and the N30i connects at the top of the head. Cheers mate
I am new to Cpaps. I don't like massive caps because I like the freedom to sleep anywhere. I thought maybe the mini is the way to go. My question is can I use the mini as my only machine. I do have some significant blockage.
My favorite nightly mask of all time is Philips Respironics DreamWear. But it doesn't go with my travel Resmed Mini. I know you can get the adapter but that cuts off the use of the humidifier filter. Is there something to keep all three together? The Mini, the filter and the Philips Respironics DreamWear ?
Hey mate, First of all thanks for your great content!! I have been using the Air Sense 10 Autoset with ClimateLineAir tubing and AirFit N20 nasal mask for about 5 years with great satisfaction. As I travel a lot for work, I bought the Resmed Air Mini about a year ago. However, I'm having a hard time with it, and I've already spent a lot of money on various accessories.

Air Sense 10 Autoset with ClimateLineAir tubing and AirFit N20 nasal mask: 45-50 dB Air Mini with AirFit N20 mask and special Resmed AirMini waterless humidification tubing (HumidX): 60 dB Air Mini with AirFit P10 for AirMini and special Resmed AirMini waterless humidification tubing (HumidX): 55 dB Air Mini with AirFit N20 mask and non-heated tubing (non-Resmed) and Resmed Air Mini standard adapter as suggested in the video: 69 dB Air Mini with AirFit N20 mask and ClimateLineAir tubing and Resmed Air Mini standard adapter: 62 dB Can you tell me what other options there are to reduce the noise level of the Air Mini?"
?? Hello Looking to Hack similar to one you suggest but wondering if there is an adapter that fits From a Philips CPAP Go 12 mm hose "Not the end at the Male" into the Resmed mini but the other end that will attach to regular 12mm open end and then to the bottom end of special HME Resmed container fitting ? Or suggestions ??
Hello. 😊 My question: What if I want to use that specific Airfit P10 mask with the HME for an Airmini BUT I want to plug it into my Resmed S9 machine, thus avoiding bringing the water tank and need for distilled water while traveling? Is there an adapter that will allow connection of an Airmini hose into a regular cpap machine? Thanks very much and look forward to hearing back from you.
I was excited to hear of alternative mask solutions for the Airmini... I had hoped to take the unit in the field for a multiday hiking/camping experience. Can you comment on rechargeable batteries for the Airmini?
What is the small grey “Zeph air “ ?? adapter that he is talking about at the beginning of the video? What is it and where can you get them? Seems the easiest solution by far.
I enjoy your vedio. Can I ask you a question? The dreamstation with foam cast and foamless cast setting in the same pressure will offer the same pressure output?
Please help me. I've been using my air mini for about a month and had no problems. Randomly about four days ago, the air flow started making it hard to breathe. it felt like breathing through a straw. Sometimes I would get a puff of air that was too strong on the inhale. I also couldn't exhale without coming up against a feeling of having to push really hard to exhale. I'm just at the end of my rope. My sister and I used the app to change all of the settings many, many times and we tried each setting many times over and over again. This had previously happened and I called the retailer and worked with someone over the phone for 2 hours. She couldn't get the machine working OR the brand new second resmed air mini working for me either. Shortly thereafter the next day, the air mini just randomly started working, and I have no idea why. So I've been able to use it for about a month and now this air flow problem started. If you have any suggestions I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
Hi Nick, ResMed AirMini power stuff is expensive and have a proprietary connector; but generic 24vdc battery packs and power supplies are cheap. Would you happen to have a diagram for the power connector? I suspect ResMed is just using a weird connector to mess with us like they do with their weird air hose connectors.
Thanks for the video. Do you know a solution for using a N20 with the Humidx on other machines than AirMini? I find the Humix does the job not only when travelling but also at home as it diffuses the exhaust vent of the mask so my wife is not bothered by it. The issue is Resmed proprietary connector is made only for the AirMini. There ought to be a better solution than duct tape to make this work on a AirSense 11
Hello - new subscriber here and love your content. Question - can you lower your max pressure beyond your p95 pressure? For example : My current pressure range is 5-15 for the min and max respectively. My current p95 pressure is 10, I’ve reset my max as low as 9 and my AHI is still 2. Should I continue to lower the max even if it falls below my p95 level? I know you recommend to keep lowering it as long as AHI is below 5 but I’m hesitant to lower it beyond my p95.
Hi from Sydney. Thanks for this video. I need your guidance, hope you can help me. I have bought the Air mini and the AirFit mask P10. I don't like the loud sound coming from the breathing using the AirFit mask P10. My regular maks is the old ResMed Swift FX which I love and it is not noisy. How can I connect the ResMed Swift FX to the air mini? Thanks!
I’m about to migrate from the airsense 10 to the airsense 11. The VA (Vererans Affairs in the US) sends me way more more accessories than I need. I literally have about two years worth of CPAP equipment because I tend to make them last. As I migrate to the air since 11 I know that my hoses are not going to fit it. Is there an adapter that will allow airsense 10 hoses to hook to the Aires se 11.
I have a question, I have the AirMini and have the full facemask, but after 6 months, the Velcro for the straps are not holding any longer. Are there any other hacks to extend the life of this strap? Thank you
Interesting! How does this work considering the airmini uses ActiveAir Technology to reduce workload on the motor? By bypassing this and using a vented mask, it defeats the purpose of activeair.
ActiveAir is not designed to reduce the workload on the motor. AirSense 11 has the same motor and can be used with any cpap mask. ActiveAir is to improve the HMX humidity delivery. HMX *must* be located between the patient and the vent (otherwise no moisture will be captured). Because of this, they moved the vent down the tube, below the HMX. Cheers
I got the adapter5 for my air mini to use standard tubing and any mask. But then the waterless humification will not work. But since it is not really all that good maybe it will not make much of a difference. I use on my standard machine one of ResMed mask but it will not work on my air mini unless you do one the hacks you mention.
Hi Nick! I use an AirFit N30i mask with my Resmed AirSense 11 but how could I use it with the AirMini? I would like to use it with my regular mask but keep their HumidX humidification system. Is it possible? Thanks!
Okay, my problem is a little bit unusual. I have a Res Med Air semse 10 for women machine that I use at home .I also have an Res Med Air Mini that I use for travel in our caravan.I like the size if the mini for travel but it does not work with the only mask that I can use . My at home mask is one that has a 22mmm hose with the connection on top of my head, You cannot use this mask with the air mini, as it only has a 15mm tube, and they dont have the exact mask for the air mini mask range . My question is does the magnetic adapter fit both the 22mm tube and the 15mm tube. I had a bright idea the I would buy 2 magnetic adapters and put one in each of the 2 different line and then I could just snap connect the 15mm tube from my air mini to my 22mm tube to my head gear. I know this sound a bit hard to understand , but does anybody have an answer.
Thanks for this information! Do you know is there any other Cpap machine on the marked.. a bit cheaper? They charge 1000.- Euro in Germany for this one.
Hi Nicko If I use a standard mask adapter and cheap 22mm tube do I still change the mask settings in the set up for each mask type (not sure what that does actually). My main gripe with the airmini masks is that they seem noisy at the humidx chamber , with or without the disk.
Agreed I was about to buy this machine yesterday but then heard the running of it. Far louder than any other machine and mask combo (FAIL Resmed) I would accept the mongrel lock in actions of Resmed IF the mask worked quietly but no way with the crazy noise level. So Now I can proceed and do this swap out of the hose. THANKS so much Nicko. I cant source a Z2 which I would prefer as it is 12 volt not 24. It is just blowing air why do companies take the money and not have to keep gouging for every last cent.
Great hacks Nicko, thanks. Does anyone know how long these units last if used as a daily use machine? Has anyone had one break on them yet, and after how much use?
Been using as my daily for a month now. Found out about the adapter a couple weeks into it. The humidex tabs are worthless in my opinion if you are used to humidity just FYI. I ended up getting a standalone fisher and paykal humidifier and using my own mask now. Set up is kind of a drag because of separate pieces so I am eventually going to make it my back up once I switch to air sense 10.
Great hacks. I just picked mine up, it is very noisy when you exhale, reminds me of my original machine 10 years ago! Does anyone have any ideas on noise reduction?
The good folks at CPAP direct claim that these hacks can result in a dangerous level of CO2 buildup. This is because of inadequate CO2 removal if not using a mask designed for the unit. Has this been anyone’s experience after using a non ResMed approved mask or is it sales BS? Thanks
Ugh. That really kills it for me. While I don’t mind doing hacks, it is a pain to have to take these steps. Shame on resmed. I was pretty sold on the mini and now I’m having second thoughts.
Great hack!!! Love this!!! I prefer F&P masks !!!What’s the max cmH2O on the Resmed mini? 20 cmH2O like the Airsense? Probably can’t go up to 25 cmH2O like the Aircurve. Thanks for the cool hack Uncle Nicko!!

Air Mini with AirFit N20 mask and ClimateLineAir tubing and Resmed Air Mini standard adapter: 62 dB
Can you tell me what other options there are to reduce the noise level of the Air Mini?"
Hello sir, if the hose is torn/leaking, can change the hose?
?? Hello Looking to Hack similar to one you suggest but wondering if there is an adapter that fits From a Philips CPAP Go 12 mm hose "Not the end at the Male" into the Resmed mini but the other end that will attach to regular 12mm open end and then to the bottom end of special HME Resmed container fitting ? Or suggestions ??
How can u use the humidex with any mask?
Neat Nick
Hello. 😊 My question: What if I want to use that specific Airfit P10 mask with the HME for an Airmini BUT I want to plug it into my Resmed S9 machine, thus avoiding bringing the water tank and need for distilled water while traveling? Is there an adapter that will allow connection of an Airmini hose into a regular cpap machine? Thanks very much and look forward to hearing back from you.
I tried sleeping with the mini last night terrible experience. Ill order the adapter now
I was excited to hear of alternative mask solutions for the Airmini... I had hoped to take the unit in the field for a multiday hiking/camping experience. Can you comment on rechargeable batteries for the Airmini?
I have the recommended battery from Medistrom and battery life depends on what pressure you need. I typically only get 8-10 hours. Hope that helps.
Wow, it came out in 2016? When will they release a newer model?
What is the small grey “Zeph air “ ?? adapter that he is talking about at the beginning of the video? What is it and where can you get them? Seems the easiest solution by far.
Hello, Where can i find your magnetic appliance? Can I find within Amazon is so, what's the name of the device?
I hope you can help us solve the noise problem with the air mini. I have one and sadly it’s so noisy I’m unable to use it. Love the hacks!
Any hacks to make the mask quieter?
I enjoy your vedio. Can I ask you a question? The dreamstation with foam cast and foamless cast setting in the same pressure will offer the same pressure output?
thanks man!
How can I connect my Airmini AirFit N30 mask to my Airsense 10 climatetubing ? thanks.
Ty. Can I hook up a dreamwear headgear and still get humidifier?
Please help me. I've been using my air mini for about a month and had no problems. Randomly about four days ago, the air flow started making it hard to breathe. it felt like breathing through a straw. Sometimes I would get a puff of air that was too strong on the inhale. I also couldn't exhale without coming up against a feeling of having to push really hard to exhale.
I'm just at the end of my rope. My sister and I used the app to change all of the settings many, many times and we tried each setting many times over and over again.
This had previously happened and I called the retailer and worked with someone over the phone for 2 hours. She couldn't get the machine working OR the brand new second resmed air mini working for me either.
Shortly thereafter the next day, the air mini just randomly started working, and I have no idea why. So I've been able to use it for about a month and now this air flow problem started.
If you have any suggestions I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
Hi Nick,
ResMed AirMini power stuff is expensive and have a proprietary connector; but generic 24vdc battery packs and power supplies are cheap. Would you happen to have a diagram for the power connector? I suspect ResMed is just using a weird connector to mess with us like they do with their weird air hose connectors.
I don't mate but you can probably just by a AirMini DC cable from medistrom and then cut off the connector and use it with any setup. Cheers
@@CPAPReviews but that would be simple and easy. ;-)
Thanks for the video. Do you know a solution for using a N20 with the Humidx on other machines than AirMini? I find the Humix does the job not only when travelling but also at home as it diffuses the exhaust vent of the mask so my wife is not bothered by it. The issue is Resmed proprietary connector is made only for the AirMini. There ought to be a better solution than duct tape to make this work on a AirSense 11
Hello - new subscriber here and love your content. Question - can you lower your max pressure beyond your p95 pressure? For example : My current pressure range is 5-15 for the min and max respectively. My current p95 pressure is 10, I’ve reset my max as low as 9 and my AHI is still 2. Should I continue to lower the max even if it falls below my p95 level? I know you recommend to keep lowering it as long as AHI is below 5 but I’m hesitant to lower it beyond my p95.
Good question
Hi from Sydney. Thanks for this video. I need your guidance, hope you can help me. I have bought the Air mini and the AirFit mask P10. I don't like the loud sound coming from the breathing using the AirFit mask P10. My regular maks is the old ResMed Swift FX which I love and it is not noisy. How can I connect the ResMed Swift FX to the air mini? Thanks!
I’m about to migrate from the airsense 10 to the airsense 11. The VA (Vererans Affairs in the US) sends me way more more accessories than I need.
I literally have about two years worth of CPAP equipment because I tend to make them last. As I migrate to the air since 11 I know that my hoses are not going to fit it. Is there an adapter that will allow airsense 10 hoses to hook to the Aires se 11.
The piece you cut off, is there any way to reattach it? I would like to shorten the 2 meter tube to 1 meter.
and how do you reduce mask noise?
I have a question, I have the AirMini and have the full facemask, but after 6 months, the Velcro for the straps are not holding any longer. Are there any other hacks to extend the life of this strap? Thank you
I live in Portugal, Europe. Where can I get it online? Those parts are hard to find!
Interesting! How does this work considering the airmini uses ActiveAir Technology to reduce workload on the motor? By bypassing this and using a vented mask, it defeats the purpose of activeair.
ActiveAir is not designed to reduce the workload on the motor. AirSense 11 has the same motor and can be used with any cpap mask. ActiveAir is to improve the HMX humidity delivery. HMX *must* be located between the patient and the vent (otherwise no moisture will be captured). Because of this, they moved the vent down the tube, below the HMX. Cheers
I got the adapter5 for my air mini to use standard tubing and any mask. But then the waterless humification will not work. But since it is not really all that good maybe it will not make much of a difference. I use on my standard machine one of ResMed mask but it will not work on my air mini unless you do one the hacks you mention.
I bought the Zephair but could not connect to my Amara view mask because end connector is not fitting, any suggestions on how to connect? Thanks
What about where the mask is, is where the filter goes air mini?
Great Hack and Good 🍺👏🏻❤️👏🏻
How strong are the magnets? They won't leak air will they?
Hi there, they're very strong however still easy to uncouple when required
Hi Nick! I use an AirFit N30i mask with my Resmed AirSense 11 but how could I use it with the AirMini? I would like to use it with my regular mask but keep their HumidX humidification system. Is it possible? Thanks!
Hey Uncle Nicko, can this hack work with the AirFit P30i?
Okay, my problem is a little bit unusual. I have a Res Med Air semse 10 for women machine that I use at home .I also have an Res Med Air Mini that I use for travel in our caravan.I like the size if the mini for travel but it does not work with the only mask that I can use . My at home mask is one that has a 22mmm hose with the connection on top of my head, You cannot use this mask with the air mini, as it only has a 15mm tube, and they dont have the exact mask for the air mini mask range . My question is does the magnetic adapter fit both the 22mm tube and the 15mm tube. I had a bright idea the I would buy 2 magnetic adapters and put one in each of the 2 different line and then I could just snap connect the 15mm tube from my air mini to my 22mm tube to my head gear. I know this sound a bit hard to understand , but does anybody have an answer.
Thanks for this information! Do you know is there any other Cpap machine on the marked.. a bit cheaper?
They charge 1000.- Euro in Germany for this one.
Hi Alex, check out the Z2 auto mate. It's a great little travel cpap and a bit cheaper than the ResMed. Nick
Hi Nicko, re your air mini hack, how can I increase the moisture. I use the humid X plus but it's just not enough. I look forward to your advice.

Can I use my resmed airsense 10 tubing on the resmed air mini???
Hi Alex, no unless you get that little adapter i showed :)
Hi Nicko
If I use a standard mask adapter and cheap 22mm tube do I still change the mask settings in the set up for each mask type (not sure what that does actually). My main gripe with the airmini masks is that they seem noisy at the humidx chamber , with or without the disk.
Agreed I was about to buy this machine yesterday but then heard the running of it. Far louder than any other machine and mask combo (FAIL Resmed) I would accept the mongrel lock in actions of Resmed IF the mask worked quietly but no way with the crazy noise level. So Now I can proceed and do this swap out of the hose. THANKS so much Nicko. I cant source a Z2 which I would prefer as it is 12 volt not 24. It is just blowing air why do companies take the money and not have to keep gouging for every last cent.
My airmini is not showing the data after use . It said not used .any suggestions
Great hacks Nicko, thanks.
Does anyone know how long these units last if used as a daily use machine?
Has anyone had one break on them yet, and after how much use?
I'd be interested in the answers to these questions as well. I'm picking up my new AirMini tomorrow and plan to use it as my daily machine.
Well considering the motor/blower is the exact same that is in the ResMed Airsense 11, I'm guessing you shouldn't have any issues.
Been using as my daily for a month now. Found out about the adapter a couple weeks into it. The humidex tabs are worthless in my opinion if you are used to humidity just FYI. I ended up getting a standalone fisher and paykal humidifier and using my own mask now. Set up is kind of a drag because of separate pieces so I am eventually going to make it my back up once I switch to air sense 10.
Well, the Resmed site does say it's not designed to stand up to daily use. Fine if you got money to burn, but I'm not risking it.
Do the adapters as shown work with the nasal masks (Resmed Airfit P30i) that has the hose attaching on the top of the head?
yes
@@CPAPReviews Thank you.
It just means we buy Z2 instead!
Great hacks. I just picked mine up, it is very noisy when you exhale, reminds me of my original machine 10 years ago! Does anyone have any ideas on noise reduction?
Same here
The good folks at CPAP direct claim that these hacks can result in a dangerous level of CO2 buildup. This is because of inadequate CO2 removal if not using a mask designed for the unit. Has this been anyone’s experience after using a non ResMed approved mask or is it sales BS? Thanks
Hi! I sent you an email with a question- was hoping you wpuld get a chamce to answer
Ugh. That really kills it for me. While I don’t mind doing hacks, it is a pain to have to take these steps. Shame on resmed. I was pretty sold on the mini and now I’m having second thoughts.
Time for another song?
That's fine if you can go without any humidification.
You can add a standalone humidifier from fisher and paykal…
Phones did for a minute type c. Someone decoded to s with it
the medlock to expensive for me i use cheap tape everyday
hey @cpapreviews, would you be able to use this on the other side of the humidx and then get the benifit or humidification?
Great hack!!! Love this!!! I prefer F&P masks !!!What’s the max cmH2O on the Resmed mini? 20 cmH2O like the Airsense? Probably can’t go up to 25 cmH2O like the Aircurve. Thanks for the cool hack Uncle Nicko!!
