Cleaning + disinfecting nebulizer and aerobica

I sip while I neb to keep mouth from getting too dry and I think that helps me relax thru little breaks.
The little green filter/valve in the backside of aerobika opens and lets air whoosh out at once is what I mean. You can easily tell if it happens-suddenly there's no resistance.

"You can easily tell if it happens-suddenly there's no resistance." When that happened to me I held the aerobika upright and slammed the bottom against something solid like a table top or counter top. The jarring seemed to put everything back in place and it continued to work just fine. Has happened a few times.

Like you, I take sips of warm water during airway clearance. A RT advised me to drink water before starting autogenic drainage so throat is moist. Makes sense to reduce friction and possible irritation.
