Sounds like mine. The wattage listing is for running with the humidifier. If you don't run the humidifier, the actual power draw is much less. I just looked at mine, and the 80 watts is if you are using the heated tubing. 60 watts is for when you are using non-heated tubing. If you have a problem with "rain out" like i did, get a cover for the tubing. My wife made me a cover out of fleece fabric. It is essentially a tube with elastic on each end that will fit over the tubing and rubber ends. The elastic holds it in place. Just having that layer of fabric prevents the condensation in the tube. Before she did that for me, I was getting a nose full of water from the condensation. Now, I have no problems. These can be bought, but I have spent thousands of dollars on sewing equipment for my wife. We might as well get some use out of it.![Smile]( "Smile")
