New PARI Nebulizer Options Coming Our Way?

@scoop With regard to the disposable nebs I recently used, each neb came with its own tubing, and the treatment took around 20-25mins. Long , yes. But with our hectic travel schedule, for me, it was worth just getting up a little earlier in the morning , nebbing, then throwing everything away at the end of the session. Not having to worry about washing ,toting around bottled water, and sterilizing just really simplified things, providing less steps when it felt we were in constant motion. We changed rooms every 2-3 days.
As for normal travel using the Pari Trek & AeroEclipse XL, the AeroEclipse also takes long, around 20 mins. I use the breath activated mode , so there isn’t any waste of saline.
I read the info on Pari Boy, and tried to look at how it compares to AeroEclipse XL. It seems Pari Boy is a lot faster , delivers more med per inhalation , but also doesn’t use all the med since it’s continuously activated .
AeroEclipse XL is slower, but optimizes all the vial with no waste.
Is this correct ?
I think I’ll ask my pulmonologist to give me his 2 cents . I only nebulize 1x per day, so I feel like I need to breathe in the entire vial . I do love microwave steaming , as it’s easy and doesn’t take up any space , which also factors in to what I want to use .
All that to say, I would love to decrease my neb time , but also keep the microwave option as well.

I don't know how much wasted saline there is with the Pari Boy Go having never used it. And I am not really sure how I would measure it. What you're doing with the breath activated surely cuts down on waste. It's great that you can get away with 1x day. I'm in the 2x a day camp. I sometimes nebulize 2 vials, depending on how I am feeling. Sounds like your routine works for you! Impressive that you could travel moving hotels every couple of days and keep your routine and composure!
