I use the PARI LC Sprint cup with my travel PARI Trek S nebulizer. It’s a good nebulizing cup, and I appreciate that while traveling, I can sterilize it using high heat.

At home, however, I prefer the breath-actuated AeroEclipse XL BAN. Because it releases mist only when I inhale, I’m not putting as much aerosol into my home air or wasting as much saline or medication.

My husband appreciates that I’m considerate, especially since we live in a small apartment. When I visit my daughters and grandchildren, who have pets, I also feel that I’m doing the responsible thing by controlling how much medication mist is released into the air.

The AeroEclipse does take a little longer than the PARI cup. If I’m in a hurry, rather than switching it to continuous mode and releasing more mist into the room, I may simply stop nebulizing a little earlier.

The manufacturer also explains that a small amount of solution should remain in the bottom of the AeroEclipse cup. I think some people try to nebulize every last drop, and that may be one reason it seems to take so long.

Just some food for thought!

Warm regards,
