    A full mask replacement for me would be about $200. A hose replacement for me would be about $100. A tank replacement would also be about $100.

    I can’t sanitize these things back into use unfortunately. The hose is starting to show extreme degradation from multiple years of use, as well as a cat chewing on it. The tank is starting to show signs of rust and I can’t imagine that that is going to be a great thing for me to be breathing in. So I can’t be using that for too much longer. The entire mask also needs to be replaced because the front face plate is cracked and I cannot order a replacement face plate. I’m looking at $400 to $500. All of which would do nothing to replace the issue of it tasting like plastic because for whatever reason, that is coming from inside of the machine itself.

    I may just die.

      Also I’ll try to help you find a hose if you tell me what cpap model you’re using and what headgear you’re connecting it to.

      I don’t understand why your hose would be 100 bucks, the ones on Amazon are more like 10 bucks. That’s where I would start if you have plastic smell because yours is just simply way past its design lifespan.
