Is there a way to add something that makes it harder to breath into a device designed to keep you breathing? What could go wrong…
You’re the kind of person who would try to light a cigarette while on oxygen.

No and you wouldn’t want there to be.
One, CPAP/BiPAP machines are expensive. If you want to get THC into your lungs, there are better options that are cheaper.
CPAP machines typically push pressurised air. So you may be looking for something that smokes the cannabis and pushes it through the system. Not only would this damage the system, CPAP therapy is designed to be used overnight. You aren’t going to be feeling the high effects. Also, you would need a lot of cannabis to burn throughout the night, and a mechanical system to keep introducing the cannabis to the flame and discarding the ashes.
Some CPAP machines also have a water reservoir and push humidified air that is pressurised. This may be what you’re thinking of. There are oil-based delivery systems for THC, such as CBD oil. This would be less harmful to the machine (as in not harmful), it only might gum up the tubing between the reservoir and your mask. You replace this stuff every 3 months anyway, so that’s not that big of a deal. You would just want to consult someone who knows more about CBD oil or other oil-based THC products to see if adding it to water, humidifying it, and pushing it into your lungs would one, even work; and two, be beneficial to the effect you are trying to produce. I do not think it will, but I am not an expert — I don’t even use THC. (I do know a little bit about it, and if I lived in a state it was legal in, I would use it in baking, because I love food science and I know edibles are popular. I know what to do, but I would have to learn how much to use. I would also not consume the edibles — I am not even the least bit curious about being high on THC — but I would make them for friends as gifts. If it were legal where I am. It is not.)
If your goal is to relax/get high before bed, you would be better served just smoking or otherwise ingesting the THC in your typically preferred way 10-15 minutes before going to bed.
Bonus: for those who use bongs, dump that nasty water out and put ice cubes in there instead. Take smaller hits. Trust me. Yes, a guy who doesn’t smoke. Even better, get those blue ice packs that are sealed. They come in ice cube size — look up reusable ice cubes. Fill your bong with that, and re-freeze after each sesh. (If you really wanna know what it does, it condenses the smoke as it passes through, which means you’ll take bigger hits (which is why I say take smaller ones). But once it gets into your lungs, your body heat will expand it. Fail to heed my warnings and you’ll be coughing like a punk. I grew up around people who smoked. Looked at what they were doing and said “I can show you how to do it better… with science.” But nah, not really into it myself.
