DME's are a racket. Another Dreamstation user here. I get all my supplies on Amazon. SO MUCH cheaper. Here are filters , hoses , and the mask I'm using. Hope that helps!
Here is a battery pack specifically designed for CPAPs:

As for fuel-powered generators, that may be difficult living in a condo, but if you have a balcony you can set one out there with an extension chord running inside. Here's a really small one that runs on propane:

ammonia packets, something like this. They aren't snorting them, just smelling it.
I've used them before for really heavy lifts, it just wakes you up and makes your whole body feel energized for a few seconds. I think it's mainly only supposed to be used medically, to wake up unconscious people or something.
I saw your last post where you were giving a few away for feedback, and I held my tongue then but your product is pretty far over priced. You have to compare your product to this highly reviewd and cheap ($12.18) hose holder. And it is a nice hose holder, I own it, and love how the hose holder is actually on a retractable elastic cord, so it pulls when you need it, and retracts when you don't. Before I got that hose holder, I used to simply run the hose around the frame of my headboard, similar to how your 'cat ear shaped' hose holder would hold the hose, it wasn't good, the coil of the hose (ridges) would run back and forth over the ridge edge of the headboard and make a noise that would wake my wife every time I rolled over. I've had my hose holder for about 6 months now, and it folds down to fit within the same carry bag my Dreamstation came with; I've taken it camping about 8 times in that 6 months, and about 3 business trips.
Your product seems inferior to the one I pointed on Amazon, and would need to be less than $12.18 (and that includes shipping).

Yep, the Phillps Dreamwear is what you’re looking for. I’ve used it for over a year and it is the best.
Each airline has their own guidelines, so you'll have to check to be sure. But in general, it's considered a medical device, which is indeed exempt. It does not count as a carry on or a personal item. I fly with mine quite a bit. When I first got it, I was stowing my bags on a Southwest flight when an attendant questioned me about having 3 bags. I explained it was a CPAP and she backed off right away. So just like CainerWolf suggested, I ordered a medical equipment tag that night. Haven't had a problem since.
ninja edit: that being said, I try to only have one carry on with me, and if for some reason I have two, I'll always put one of them under the seat in front of me just so I'm not taking up half the damn overhead all by myself. ;-)
Why not use a small battery back up ?
You’ll regret not bringing it.
Something like this is light weight.

And if you plan to go backpacking a lot you could invest in the resmed mini.
https://www.resmed.com/us/en/consumer/products/devices/airmini.html
I've used them for the past couple of years and find they help a lot. I don't think the cost is unreasonable vs the cost of the machine and the value of a good night's sleep (priceless in my view!)

A few things:
​
This is the pillow I use: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IJ87MZK/
I love love LOVE it.
I use a FFM mask. It's fine. I've tried the Resmed Airfit F20, and a Phillips Dreamwear, but wound up using the one my sleep study gave me because it seals around my nose better and stays on better. It's a Fisher and Paykel Simplus. The top nose piece is tad uncomfortable, but it's no big deal, I sleep better is all that matters with this mask over the other two I have.
A CPAP Hose Cozy is pretty easy to sew up, but you can get them on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Snuggle-Skins-Insulating-CPAP-Cover/dp/B007BUOINM?th=1
I use it to also keep the cold plastic hose from waking me up when it brushes against my face or arms.
I picked up one of these medical device luggage tags. It helps to very clearly mark why you have the extra bag.
I also eventually just picked up a Z1 travel CPAP machine. I have an oversized laptop backpack that barely fits under the seats. Now I just put the medical tag on that bag and keep my cpap in there instead.
For instance: https://smile.amazon.com/Snuggle-Skins-Insulating-CPAP-Cover/dp/B007BUOINM
I think it depends on the user, but I've tried two. This one worked ok, but was a hassle and left impressions on my cheeks when I woke up. The one I use now, is this one, which is much simpler and works great.
It doesn't take a lot of pressure to hold your chin up and keep your mouth sealed - much less than I was trying to achieve with that first strap. I'm bald, so I was worried about it slipping off without extra straps to hold it, but I have had no problem with it staying in place.
Yo, they make masks now with the hose on top of your head. This never happens to me any more since I switched. I use https://www.amazon.com/Respironics-Dreamwear-Nasal-Medium-Softwraps/dp/B01G0NXCWS.

I have had the same equipment for 7 years + so far. Epic, works well.
I found that I had this problem until I bought neck and cheek pads here . I make sure my straps are loose enough to slip two fingers underneath them so they don’t leave marks even with the cheek and neck pads on. It’s made a world of difference. Idk why I went a year without them.

If you don't roll around a lot in your sleep, these stands can help. They hold the hose up above your head.

look into hose buddies.
That's the one I got, but there are other options, or it might give you ideas on making your own set-up. I used to have my bed up against a window with no headboard, and used a long cord tied to the curtain rod to keep my hose elevated and out of the way; now I use the hose buddy. Or you can drape it over the headboard, but it really depends on the situation.
good luck to you!
I love sleeping in a cold room, while breathing warm, humid air. I bought one of these and that solved the issue for me.
Just to add to the people making suggestions about masks, I thought I'd chime in too. When I first got my machine, I took to it without problems. For several months, I slept so well. Then, inexplicably, I started taking my mask off in my sleep. Could not for the life of me figure out what was up. It was still worth using as I could feel a difference between going to bed with it on and not, but it was super frustrating as I continued to get more and more tired as I was only on it for like 1.5-2 hours most nights. Tried changing my sleeping positions, changing humidifier levels, tried not using the humidifier, tried adjusting my mask, all sorts of stuff. Tried changing to Auto-PAP for a while, and that improved things but wasn't enough. Eventually changed masks and also turned up the pressure, and now I wake up most mornings still wearing my mask. The thing is, my previous mask (an over the nose type) was perfectly comfortable to me, and as I said I took to it immediately. Now I've got the Dreamwear "full face" (not quite the same as the full face my dad wears with his Bi-PAP which also covers his nose, but that's what they call it). At first I was still taking it off, but then we increased pressure and I had to cinch it down more firmly to minimize the leaks I was getting, and I wake up pretty much every morning with it still on.
Point is, even if you sleep easily with it and have no comfort issues, you might still need to change up your setup. And it might be a combination of things, not just one or the other.
Yeah, seems to be anywhere from $200-300. That said, I think it might power other things, not just CPAP machines from the description I'm looking at.
My father has a Battery Power Solutions one; I included a photo of the back of his machine. Not sure how much he paid for it, but I think now they've upgraded to the Freedom CPaP Battery Kit, same thing by the same company, which is $269 on Amazon.
Hope that helps.
If you can somehow make my ill-advised investment into the mythical "airing" device become a reality, I'd be thrilled. Since it's probably impossible on a physics perspective that won't happen.
Hose weight and positioning is the hardest for me. I use a CPAP Hose Holder which is a big help, but still the hose is the worst part.
They make these sleeves that are supposed to prevent condensation. I can't vouch for quality of these in particular, but this should get you on the right path.
Not sure which Dreamwear nasal insert you are using, but there's two -- one that goes inside your nose a little and another that sits at your nasal openings but doesn't go inside. I'm guessing that the latter would be less likely to cause you irritation.
If neither work for you, then my suggestion would be a nasal mask that could go completely over your nose all together and might avoid touching any irritating areas, such as this N20 mask.
I would recommend a hose management system, like this one, that way you can stop worrying and let your body do what every body does, move in your sleep.
Well I just read right over the noise issue you spoke of in your original post. I’ll brush up on my reading comprehension. Lol.
If it helps any, both the dreamwear nasal and full mask both slightly separate from my face also when I roll to either side, causing the noisy air leak. The only time I’ve been able to prohibit separation is by (over)tightening the straps which, of course, wakes me up due to discomfort on my face.
I’ve seen the pillows that have “cutouts” (one of many examples that might help but I feel like the tube compression is the origin of the problem and these pillows wouldn’t help.
I do like your idea of wrapping the tube(s) with something to strengthen it. Find it funny that I’ll go to a hardware store to find a fix my CPAP.
Sorry for the ramble. Don’t get to discuss CPAP with many of my friends as they’ve chosen other more popular ailments to deal with.
Cheers
What kind of mask do you have? I have the kind that just goes over my nose. I have found that while I sleep, I would open my mouth, causing really bad dry mouth when I woke up in the morning. I have found using a chin strap to keep my mouth closed solved this issue.
This is the chin strap I purchased.

It's concentrated ammonia. You can buy them on Amazon :) BOOM
I mean technically a nasal pillow. The Phillips Size Medium. Rn it's around $12 but I've have seen it drop to below $5 a couple of times
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CLE3DRY/ref=cm_sw_r_fm_apa_i_rE2BDbTRWR15G
Perhaps try clipping the hose the the headboard so that the majority of the condensation would run back to the machine? They make hose management things like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Eliminate-Tangles-CPAP-Hose-Holder/dp/B003UAHWOE/
I use something similar to these. (The clips also come in a retractor):

This is what I use... I don't like it that much, but it works, and it's still more comfy than a full face mask.

I have a hanger that raises the tube up so it doesn't get wrapped around. I'm an active sleeper.

Like this item.

Since it has a DC output capable of supplying 5-60V, it would work for any device.
You'd need a suitable cable though because of sensing circuitry in the Dreamstation and Airsense 10.
Dreamstation: details or readymade
Airsense 10: diy instructions
A Powergorilla would work just as well, it's cheaper and you can take it on airplanes.
FWIW, this is the pillow I got — made all the difference in the world. I like it because it’s got two different firmnesses; you flip the pillow 180 degrees for each.

I’ve had Sleep apnea for 30 years and you most likely have sleep apnea. See below on how to tell if you have apnea. I have a solution that might work for you. Most cases of sleep apnea are from your tongue blocking your airway. See image See this image. https://ibb.co/KFZTynh
There is a new product that just came out recently that costs almost nothing. $1.50 shipped free from China or $8-10 in the USA. No joke. In most cases of Snoring and Sleep apnea (Central Apnea) your tongue seals off the back of your throat. The trick is get your tongue from collapsing your airway. There are numerous ways to correct this (CPAP or Bi-pap machines, reversing overbite with a mouthpiece, chin straps, surgery, head position etc,.. the list goes on.
There's a new device called a Tongue Tube, Tongue sleeve or Tongue Retainer. It's silicone and weights almost nothing. All it does is creates a suction so your tongue is pulled forward as you sleep. It's like $1.20 to $1.70 on Ebay and $10-$16 bucks on Amazon. Here is broad ebay search https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=Tongue+apnea&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_sop=15&_fspt=1&LH_BIN=1&_stpos=92673&rt=nc&LH_PrefLoc=2
The problem with the China $1.50 ebay item is it take so month to arrive. You can sort US only on Ebay and it's about $4-5. Don't buy this one but read the 377 Amazon Reviews. https://www.amazon.com/Snoring-Tongue-Device-Transparent-Silicone/dp/B07MZ6TY9M
​
Here's basically the same thing for $8.99 on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WK1ZJ12 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WK1ZJ12
​
Here is a broad Amazon Search https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Silicone+Tongue+Tube&i=hpc&ref=nb_sb_noss_2
​
One important thing that you should probably also have is a chin strap along with the tongue sleeve. The silicone pulls your tongue forward and the chin strap https://www.amazon.com/The-Aftermarket-Group-ResMed-Strap/dp/B00N44IL1O that closes your month so the silicone Tongue sleeve does not fall out and your jaw stays closed. This keeps you breathing via your nose, not your throat. I'm not saying it will work but it does for many people. You still need to monitor yourself to see if its working.
If don't have the money for a Sleep study to see if you have apnea I know a foolproof way. One is a free software called for iPhones and Android called Snorelab. This will record your snoring and sleep patterns and let you know if the Tongue sleeve works. The other is $100 and it's pretty much a must to know your apnea is corrected. It's a Contec MP50 Ambulatory oximeter & blood pressure monitor. It records your heart rate, Blood oxygen and even your blood pressure all night 48 hours max. It also allows you to do advanced graphs of your entire night sleep on your computer and software it comes with. It has alarms to wake you up if you stop breathing. It will show when you stop breathing and your SP02 crashes, your heart rate and blood pressure the entire night. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=contec+pm50&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_sop=12
I know many people have SPO2 finger pulse-oximeter but getting one that records all night without the batteries dying, can upload to a PC and is rugged and under $100 is hard to find. I'm owned most of them. Finger oxymeters are great when your awake. Contec MP50 is used in Hospitals. Don't accidentally order the Contec APM50 that's only a Blood pressure recorder for the same price and is missing the oximeter that you need to see apnea events.
This is the one I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07N44Y8WC
It's the only one I could find that had that three prong connector on one end which is why I bought it.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0036F8EYA
This is the one I use. I have several different styles but this works best with my big Santa type beard.
I got one of these to eliminate hose snags. Cheap enough, and works well.
A Wisp nasal mask works great for a side sleeper.
Due to it's smaller size than a FFM, it shifts much less while turning side to side during the night. One feature of the Wisp that I love is the tether at the top to anchor the hose so when you move the hose just goes with you. Here is a photo of it https://7thstreettavern.com/wisp-mask/
If you are using a FFM, I suggest a CPAP pillow. I like this one the best when using a FFM https://www.amazon.com/CPAP-Pillow-Pressure-Supplies-Sleepers/dp/B01IJ87MZK
yep, i bought both pieces on amazon for about $40 total. nice to have the option if needed, and keep the hose connection at the top of my head
it helps with congestion, but i didn't get a good seal with it. perhaps because of my beard. after my congestion cleared up i switched back to the nasal mask
mask (med size, but get whatever equivalent is to your nasal)
headgear
Well, not related to sleep, but a softer seat will sometimes cause you to be more sore. This is why car seats are often very firm.
> Interesting that the CPAP reports my average sleep hours as closer to 7 hours, which is likely accurate.
My CPAP reports 8.5 to 9.5 hours per night. Is there any way you can get to bed earlier? I had to suck it up and start going to bed at 9:30 every night, instead of 10 or 10:30, and it made a big difference for me.
Your AHI looks pretty good.
Pressure is set by your doctor.
The rest you can find by Googling.
The large leak is actually about the same as mine. However, if you wake up and it's leaking, then yes - tighten it. If you continue to have problems with your mask, I found these two products to help a lot:
http://www.amazon.com/North-American-Healthcare-JB5651-Holder/dp/B0034CHMRU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1409922978&sr=8-1&keywords=cpap+hose+holder

The hose holder allows me to position the hose so that it hangs just over my head, with no force pulling the mask off. The hose cover adds a little weight and width to the hose and it allows me to position the hose in the holder more precisely in the hanger.
Anyway, try changing the Humidity setting (or reviewing what you have changed) and see if the AHI changes. Both my wife and I found drastic differences. We live in a humid area (east coast) and found high humidity made our AHI soar, so now we have it set on 0 or 1. I would presume in an dry environment, it might help to have it on more ... perhaps? Just try it, then read the data.

Thanks! I'm going to try the full face mask + chin strap combo tonight. Which chin strap has worked well for you? I've tried:
[Stash a bunch of these around your battlestation] (https://www.amazon.com/Ammonia-Inhalant-33-10-box/dp/B00096ZO2E)
Like everyone else says, the mask is probably too tight.
You may also want to get the large size frame. The mask normally ships with the medium frame, and it seemed to fit me fine, but I had the same problem you did. In fact the first couple months after I bough the dreamwear I only used it two or three times because it irritated my nose so bad. I finally broke down and got the large frame, and immediately noticed a massive improvement. It wasn't dramatically more comfortable at night, but in the morning my nose felt much better.
Also /u/wrong_assumption recommends the version without the nasal pillows. I used that version up until about a month ago, and I always liked it and it is slightly more comfortable. That said, I switched to the pillow version and won't go back. I had way more problems with leaks without the pillows, and it was noisy enough to wake me up way too often. Since I switched to the pillows, my sleep has noticeably improved. You may not have the same problem, but I would recommend trying the large frame before trying the non-pillow version.
BTW, if you do want to try the version without the pillows, you don't need to replace the whole mask. Just get the non-pillow nosepiece.
I have something called a CPAP Pillow from amazon (link below) and i use a resmed airfit f20 full face mask, i am 5 foot 11 215lbs and fairly broad shouldered (nothing crazy though) and i have to put a thin pillow below this to raise it a bit but i can comfortably sleep on my side this way with my mask resting on the corner indentation, happy to take pictures or assist further over PMs if you need it as i appreciate it is a far from cheap purchase! Without it i had terrible neck pain so its a must have for me personally.

To piggy back off others:
If you're skinny and have already tried a dozen different masks, then this advice will not help you in any way. From what I've researched, you need to explore the MMA surgury if you've truly tried a dozen masks and are skinny.
Best of luck!
Okay, I am sadly a mouth breather as well and a chin strap would just cause me to slowly suffocate throughout the night so I feel your pain and even tried the dreamwear mask for awhile but couldn't handle the nose slit. But just fyi, there is this really cool thing I found on amazon that brings the hose behind your head no matter what mask your wearing and seriously so much frustration saved. Secondly, have you thought about increasing the humidity slowly? Like one notch every couple of days just as you get used to it? See if that works? And thirdly, maybe increase your daily water intake as well just in general and see if that helps? I know on nights where my water intake hasn't been good that's usually when I have the worst dry mouth.
