CPAP air filter

[Big Guy]

FWIW, CPAP filters can be inexpensive.  I just bought a box of 24 that was $10, and I consider that reasonable even though it's still overpriced.  It's low enough that I don't care.  (I'm gonna fuss about 42 cents per month?)  Before searching for and finding those, I briefly considered looking for a sheet of the same material, buying that, and cutting it up, but nah, why bother.

And for anyone who gets 'em via insurance every month, it's a non-problem.

Agreed!

Along the same lines, I only vaguely remember a post from several months ago in which someone was planning to customize his mask by getting some plastic glue/cement/whatever and patching or modifying something in the frame.  Say what?  You want to breathe those fumes?  <shrug>  Well, it's your funeral ...

And yeah, I know that glue sniffing went out long ago, when the (late lamented) Ramones were teenagers, because the formulas of that stuff were all modified to make the stuff different and non-euphoria-inducing and so on ... but harmless?  No chance.  Whatever the petrochemical compound might be, I suggest reading the warnings on the label and looking up the MSDS for it and reading available web pages about adverse health effects of inhaling its fumes, before using it on a mask or a filter or a hose or a humidifier.

I'm pretty sure it was sniff-proof, although I was never brain-damaged enough to try it. Probably it would merely make you nauseated. The original formula, which was literally brain-damaging, had toluene, IIRC.

From the "plastic smell" thread:

Side note: Isn't the CPAP filter's job more likely to filter the incoming air to protect the machine and not the patient?

Sorry to play moderator, but wasn't that intended for this thread instead?

About the purpose of the filter, I think you're probably right.

I only intentionally posted on other thread due to mention of filter, if memory serves well today. But it more appropriately belongs here, but again it was intentional.
