Albuterol inhaler vs nebulizer?

I cannot speak to the inhaled Arikayce. There are a bunch of posts here in this forum that can be easily searched about peoples' experiences with Arikayce.

For bronchiectasis, I've switched to using an albuterol puffer before 7% saline and airway clearance instead of nebbing levalbuterol, the later made me ironically wheezy. The puffer helps my asthma a lot so I carry it around with me when I will be away from home for the several hours etc.

My pulmonologist recently prescribed me levalbuterol for nebulizer because of my recent infections. The dosage for nebulizing (.0.63 or .3 ml) is a lot more than inhaler puffer. If you go back from nebulizing to inhaler puffer, do you have to adjust the dosage to a similar amount?
Many thanks!
