I don't breath in through my nebulizer. I just wash the mouthpiece everyday.
The Aerobika about once a week or less.
Hot soapy water then soak in peroxide and rinse.
I posted a question on here about Aerobika.
How to know when not working. I have mixed up my parts when cleaning.
I need to keep separated keep mixing the first one with the one I received about 6 months later.

"I don't breath in through my nebulizer." You must mean your Aerobika, right?

I could tell Aerobikas weren't working when the valves would collapse and there's no resistance. It's easy to tell-different sound and feel. I'd think the filters could become plugged making it harder, too.
I've put a couple devices in a ziplock and labeled "old" when they still seemed ok, but it was time to change.

I label mine with a sharpie with the date I began using it. I tape a post it also on my compressor with the sage when I changed the tubing.
