The oxygen concentrator has *much* higher pressure than the cpap.
How much air you can feel blowing out the cpap hose when it's not connected is totally irrelevant, because it's running at full speed, trying to pressurize your entire room.
Just for the record, after I have worn the CPAP mask for many minutes, I can feel the airflow out of the mask's vent 16" away or more. When set to 2 L/min, I can not feel oxygen coming out of the concentrator's tubing, but I know it is working if I put the tubing in a glass of water and see bubbles.
You're confusing apples and window cleaner.
Your mask, when on your face, has a vent rate of approximately 20 to 50 liters per minute, your oxygen concentrator (according to you) has 2 liters per minute, are you surprised you can feel one further away than the other?
More importantly than that, the flow RATE has nothing to do with the PRESSURE of the two alternative streams of gas. the PRESSURE coming out of a concentrator, or indeed, a O2 tank is orders of magnitude higher than of a cpap flow generator, (as has already been mentioned, multiple times). Concentrators operate at around 20PSI, cpaps operate at around 0.2 PSI.

If those O2 adapters didn't work (they do) they wouldn't sell them. . .
I don't know where you lived, but around here we can buy plenty of stuff that does not work as advertised. Some is even mentioned on this forum from time to time..
That is sold as licensed medical equipment, used in hospitals... I don't think so. Don't be stupid.
