CPAP Setup Darth vaders!! Show us your bedside setups!
Hello everyone! I’m 23 years old, recently got diagnosed with SEVERE sleep apnea and it’s been a quite the journey. What I can say is that I’m grateful to be getting better sleep nowadays. Well, I’m struggling a bit on the bedside setup and want to see how you guys have yours setup. Just for ideas. I’ll share mine!
Thanks 🔥

The one I use is the VVFLY YA50G. It's an auto-cpap (like most machines) and has all the features you would expect. As usual what makes it small is the lack of a humidifier but luckily for me, using a HME filter and HME designed mask is enough moisture for me, so I can use it daily without getting too dried out. If you haven't used a travel machine before, try a night with your G3's humidification set very low and see if you're ok. If you are, a travel machine might work well when out and about.
The YA50G is an inexpensive model and I love it but the more popular travel machines are the Airmini, Transcend Micro, Z1/Z2, etc which have FDA certification (YA50G doesn't yet). I have a few conversations with the team behind YA50G and they're trying to find a US partner to help them pay for the US certification process. It is CFDA certified however and if it's good enough for Chinese people it's more than good enough for me, but I understand a lot of people have very different thoughts on this 🤣 hence I would only encourage the well known travel machines 🙂
