Mixing & matching nebulizer & compressor parts

The only time I paid attention was when I was on inhaled Tobramycin; they recommended the Big Green Machine (Pari Vios) with a specific cup but I don't remember the one because it was 6 years ago. Now I use the Pari Sprint or the reusable generic with my PariVios, my daughter's PariTrek (when we travel together) or my DeVilbiss Traveler.
I use the Big Green Machine, even though it's big and loud, when I have an exacerbation (or feel one coming) - it puts the meds deeper into my lungs.

The two pictures Sue: One is the Pari LC Plus (not sprint) and it is the one they recommend to use with Toby along with the Pro Neb Max compressor. But what is the other picture of?

That's interesting that you say the Big Green Machine puts the meds deeper into your lungs. I've been assuming that any compressor that is creating significant mist is fine, and it's the breathing in that puts it into the lungs. Does the mist come out with more force?
