Imo, I agree 100%. The worm type are ok for large hose/barb application. Small hose/barb does not seal well especialy in the flat portion under the worm screw. We used crimp type w/tool. Done. Easily ground off if the hose is bent to the point of breakage.

Imo, the best reply in this thread spanning years.

Soon, your yearly checkup is your chance to correct this. Insist on the real sleep study.

Yes it is. A life changing piece of equipment. edit: Almost as much as an XX. When you get older, sometimes, you must be content with the fatter ones. Like Big Suzi. ] Not a perfect world but I try. 🙄

Big batteries and little wires don't play well together. I feel your pain.

Got 12v compressor? Ya know, I haven't ran that little compressor in well over a decade. Joe, please text me tommorow and remind me to run it.

AI would know. Get some stats.

Just a thought. YMMV fwiw, I got my ResMed 10 in 2019. Never voted for donny again. I think everyone should get a Cpap.

👍

fwiw, I have used strips in the past. They did not work for me (leaked) but then again, those were the heavy steel belted days.

I see Amazon has it also -- The last 15 seconds of the Amazon vid pertains to your needs. No need to remove from the wheel/bike. https://www.amazon.com/Stop-Go-5001-Tire-Plug/dp/B07WWQF78H/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1EBH8FME54VOD&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.CGXUT8Y82WBnyoel1Yd1YEGTLkURzyo-9wRvr4oL-JGj_iRfMOI0EFJNk3LSFRQIPf9s1CdZsqQRCNOZGQIPLfgoA_tjd8m45POVRP-r9Q3H0aarn_vYDwbs25iYDXA8BeMa1GrVIaQc2c7lMsSomnid6bAqxezk_d4IWpWmCB-cfVakfWX-FgXy3NOEOyYjlkoxxo4fG2oqVLxTmklIKq5vvC2JK9G8rc3kr0or2YR03xd_KPqvNwBjtfFuas5nzS8cy4ruzJPP8o6A7WeetDsuBAhwAb0RpYOWxbT7dyo.cdqFEhpzWF9fK8ZwpVwk1DHPGxIbLqp-FR07UylTgUA&dib_tag=se&keywords=Stop+%26+Go+5001+Tire+Mobility+Kit+with+15+Plugs%2C+3%2F4"+x+5%2F16"&nsdOptOutParam=true&qid=1778791248&sprefix=stop+%26+go+5001+tire+mobility+kit+with+15+plugs%2C+3%2F4+x+5%2F16+%2Caps%2C177&sr=8-1

Agree 1000% even though I have never used mine. I watched Hobi patch Randys tire on his RC51 at the Sanora XX Meet in California. So I bought one. Carried the patch kit and small compressor to many XX meets thru the years. Never needed it. ( knock on wood ) I could not find the the kit in 2017 when Jeff and I went to Montana to meet up with Mike ( RodeRash) so, I bought another kit just days before we left for Montana. Didn't need it so now I have 2 complete patch kits 🙄 (Hope Zero finds his proprietary tool kit) I feel your pain Mike. Hey, just remembered I did use it a couple years ago. On the riding mower. It was easy. Still working great. Have been on many top-speed runs with that mushroom plug. https://www.ebay.com/itm/224797157467?chn=ps&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1m61uc3acT5yQNS1EbdN1hg9&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=224797157467&targetid=2320274087695&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=1024569&poi=&campaignid=21404247963&mkgroupid=173029506908&rlsatarget=pla-2320274087695&abcId=9450094&merchantid=101500018&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21404247963&gbraid=0AAAAAD_QDh8RBPWrt0JEzoRtX8bQuimnM&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8ozmtc-5lAMVLiutBh023xHiEAQYAiABEgJDu_D_BwE Much better than the strip type kits. Joe, I see this kit is complete. I had to buy the small compressor separately. This kit has it all.

^^^^^ Exactly. The Specialist has 24/7/365 access to my ResMed 10 connect to wifi. She has made changes remotely that made a noticable improvement. You will also have limited access to online stats @ Resmed Worldwide. The charts/graghs will show daily events, mask leakage, hrs used, ect, ect Do you want me to call your Dr. to get his attention? I am pretty good at pissin off Dr.s these days. Get a real sleep study.

Your description stating "variable pressure based on demand" is new to me as it pertains to Cpap. Did you mean to ref: Oxygen generator? On my third Cpap machine now. All have been constant. Never heard of Cpap on-demand? I thought all Cpap machines are constant while you sleep ? My portable Oxygen generator is "on demand" as needed to save battery life. My portable is set for 3L per minute. Usually needed above 5000ft. Fishing high lakes in a boat. Little to no-movement. The bike provides Ram Air Induction in the mountains. Heart pounds. I'll be fine.😀 Never used in the valley. My floor model Oxygen generator at home is a constant supply set @ 3L per minute as a supplement to Cpap. Really helped me.

Mike, talk to your PCP and insist on it. A real sleep study. It's worth it.

Sorry to hear of this. Can't imagine sleeping without it. I wake up feeling rested @ 72yrs old. Don't drag my ass out of bed anymore. Lost 80lbs. ( that helped ) I had a respiratory shutdown in 2019 before covid reached the US shores in Seattle. ( me - was not covid ) Drove myself to emergency rm knowing something was wrong. Extremely lethargic. Sp02 was 72. Dangerously low. I read somewhere that Sp02 below 86 is starving your organs of oxygen and will eventually damage them. Thats how I got my referral to a real sleep study. Stayed the night at the hospital. The techs watched me sleep and changed/tweaked a cpap with oxygen supplement and recorded it. Got my equipment and just can't image a night without it. Big, Big differance. Just had yearly exam. ( 96 Sp02 at rest, 88 bpm ) Actually improving. Do you have an Oxy-meter ?

Imo, this is an old thread worth revisiting. Hope it's going well for you Mike ? Any thoughts to share ?

Disappointment with a feeling of not being satisfied in a very short time.

Mike, I find this one comfortable. https://www.resmed.com/en-us/healthcare-professional/products-and-support/masks/airtouch-f20/

Nothing is simple with him. This is a great community though still trying to help him. He should run out of objective doubts in about three or four more pages.

Missed it.

Useful watch. Someone will get a good deal here. Sounds like you need an Iphone to make the most of this watch ? https://www.apple.com/apple-watch-series-7/index.html

Sorry Dave, I started it. Sorry Mike, If you want to talk about girls in any of my threads, your welcome.

Worked for me. Looks comfy.

Received the clutch line. Looks like new. 🤙 That will clean up my hokie compromise. Thanks Silverbird.
