Definitely, try humidification. The air that you breathe through the mask is at a higher pressure than the ambient air. Thus, the air will feel colder and drier. Heated humidification might help. If you have rainout (condensation), the first thing to do is to put the unit lower than your head. Never fill the tank above the water line!
