@happyhealthyme Hi Nina, I too loved my portable vibrating neb , the Philips Omron, and was lost when it died and could not be replaced. Your Omron was a vibrating mesh nebulizer, that is the mechanism used to create particles when you do not use a compressor. I have looked at the Aura, which is a vibrating mesh neb that produces a mist, but not purchased it yet.

Here is what the Aura manufacturers website says - you can also read reviews and actually look at the user manual on their site.

These are my concerns:
- some reviews mention leaking, which is the reason I have trashed several mesh nebulizers
- it uses disposable batteries or a cord, not rechargeable
- it can only be cleaned with vinegar and I am afraid that is not adequate,
- I have gotten conflicting answers on whether it can be used for 7% saline, which is too corrosive for some mesh nebulizers.

I would love to hear from someone who is using the Aura. Let me know what you decide.
