vest for airway clearance

I'm using the Hillrom Baxter vest. I've only been using it for a few weeks as it was just prescribed by my pulmo. It has a compressor and it comes with a case on wheels like a small suitcase if you need to take it traveling. I'm not sure it's doing much at this point, but I haven't used it long enough to make a firm judgement. I also recently switched my neb solution to 7% from 3%. That's where I noticed the biggest difference. The 7% really helps me bring up stuff that wasn't coming up before. I'm currently doing the vest after the nebbing but I may switch around. Anyone else have any input on vest before or after nebbing?

Nebulize first because it makes the mucus moist and easier to remove via the airway clearance techniques you perform after.
