Yes, I've used the aerobika mouthpiece in the past and it works just fine but I prefer the tube as it's a slightly larger diameter.
Speaking of aerobika, since I've stopped using aerobika concurrently during saline I find that I am not missing it. Autogenic drainage app for me is more effective without aerobika. Of course will keep for now but I am happy having one less thing to sterilize.

If you are active and exercising, I guess maybe aerobika is not a must? I am very active, after exercises like walking, hiking, stepping up the plyo box, yoga, taichi ... I normally don't have mucus coming up. But I found Aerobika with breath holding for 3 seconds is quite effective for me. A lot of time, mucus jumps to the throat while doing it. I do want to shorten the time of doing it to experiment.
As for the Autogenic drainage app, do you use the one with 2.5, 4.5 and 6 minutes length? I do find it very effective, that is the one I like to use after aerobika. What do you use to cut the tube? I purchased it.
