ClimateLine tubing

ClimateLine tubing
How to set the ClimateLine tubing temp?  I have experimented with many masks, pillows, etc. and finally find the Brevida nasal pillows are the best for me...when I use them, I get 0.3 AHI and a good night's sleep.  Dry mouth was a big problem until I jacked up the humidity to 7 and taped my mouth shut.  then the rain-out started, so I got the ClimateLine tubing.  Automatic setting for it is humidity 4 and temp 80 degrees F.  Back to the dry mouth, throat, and nose.   I need to set the humidity higher... I live in So. Fla and we have a high humidity almost all the time which is very comfortable for me.  My question is:  what temp to set the tubing at?  The house is 76 degrees.  Set the tubing at the same?  Higher?

RE: ClimateLine tubing
You get more humidity yield with manual settings than automatic. The objective for the tube temperature is to prevent condensation on a cooler tube surface. A setting of 80 degrees F 26C is usually sufficient. If you notice condensation, raise it. I also use a fleece tube cover. It helps prevent condensation but is also more comfortable to sleep with.

the tubing never feels warm to the touch. Normal?

Think about it. 80 degrees is much lower than body temperature and won't feel warm. It's just there to prevent a cold surface, below the dew point, for water to condense on.

RE: ClimateLine tubing
I like to use manual mode for humidity because it seems to work the best for myself (Auto sensors Blah= rainout). I have the Resmed climate hose cozy and have my hose temperature set at 82 F and humidity set at 4 and I do not get rainout. I think I can not set the humidity higher or it would be drain the water tank and that is not a good situation because you start to heat a tank made of plastic and the smell is not nice at all.
I look at the tank in the morning and there is not much left in the reservoir so if I sleep 8 hrs it would be pushing it close to being totally drained.
I still wake up in the morning with a bit of a dry sensation but it is worse when not using humidity. I do not think there is a perfect setting that will satisfy a person but you can get close to it IMO.

Ditto the manual mode for humidity. I typically use between 4-8 and between 75-86 on the heated hose. I found manual mode didn't give me enough humidity.

I've been meaning to ask you about this. Looks like you are using a cover AND tube heating?

Reason I ask is, at 80F I don't get rainout but can't stand the "hog dogs breath" feeling in a FFM. Lately it's been waking me up.

I can generally keep the ambient humidity in the room between 40-50 pretty much year round. Temp between 65-70 ambient.
