O2 concentrator with humidifier
I use O2 continuously at home on 3L. Due to dryness I added a humidifier to my concentrator. It did not take long before I realized I was struggling. So I tried my portable and found myself breathing well again. Has anyone else had this experience? Is there some adjustment to be made ehen adding humidity?

Yes, in this hot weather, with air conditioner running almost constantly, the inside air gets drier. I have an Airvo2 device, been using it for a couple of months. My concentrator feeds oxygen to it, and then I get warmed, humidified air through a somewhat cumbesome cannula.. Just use it while sleeping, and I inhale probably 10-12 ounces of water (how much the reservoir goes down) over about 8 hours. I've been experiencing nosebleeds at night while using this, probably once a week, which seems counter-intuitive. And I don't believe that the warmed humidified O2 is any better than just the O2.
