Portable nebulizer suggestions

Posted by mtinderscott2626 @mtinderscott2626, Jan 27 9:54am

Has anyone found/used a small portable nebulizer machine for travel? Recommendations needed please

I found a portable machine called "TheNebu," but I don't trust all the Google Ads, etc.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the MAC & Bronchiectasis Support Group.

@blm1007blm1007 Yes, but I do use rechargeable ones from our amply supply. They get charged on a separate charger we have owned for years. I carry regular AA's as a backup when we travel instead of carrying the (bulky) charger.
I don't have a PariTrek anymore, but used it for over 3 years on the original battery pack. I also had a DeVilbiss Traveler with a battery pack, and the little compressor wore out before the battery did. (My daughter and her family now have the replacement one.)

PS Nebulizers have been part of our lives for probably close to 40 years - I can't even remember how many we have owned. But we always have one of the "old standby" Pari Vios tabletop models in the closet as a backup. We call it the "Big Green Machine" as every version of it has been some shade of green.

@sueinmn Thanks Sue....... that's what I thought. I did see all your other posts about the other nebulizers/equipment.
Wow....40 years of saying at times..."I need to do a nebulizing session." Just goes to show us what one can do along with living life with family and life's tasks.

@sueinmn Thanks for clarifying. I guess it is not possible to recharge the lithium batteries in the eflow itself? As for me I use the plug and carry regular batteries when traveling but I find they don't last too long.

@scoop Were you talking about the Park Trek S or the Eflow Erapid when you asked " I guess it is not possible to recharge the lithium batteries in the eflow itself?"
When I called Pari they didn't say anything about the the Eflow eRapid having a lithium battery. You may have meant the Park Trek S????? Sounds like that is what you meant due to "As for me I use the plug and carry regular batteries when traveling but I find they don't last too long."

@blm1007blm1007 Sorry for confusion. I own both eFlow and pari portable trek. I found trek under powered and took just as long as the ombra. I wondered if rechargeable batteries could be charged in the eflow. In other words, buy rechargeable batteries and use them in the eFlow without the AC adapter. When they need to be recharged plug the eflow in and recharge the batteries. I do not know the answer to this. I would think it would work.

The description on Nebology.com says: "Multiple power options including using standard batteries, rechargeable batteries, or the included AC adapter".
