New PARI Nebulizer Options Coming Our Way?

@bkim408 does the accumulation of the inhalation solution in the space between the mouthpiece and chamber happen often? Would I have to purchase sterile syringes to use this?
Also, how much of the hypertonic saline solution does it use? (I think I read that the Paro E-Flow Rapid uses only 3 ml.). I have 4 ml vials of 7%. If I put in all of the 4 ml, is there more of a chance of leaking? The leaking concerns me.
Thank you!

@cavlover. My Pari Boy Go accumulates 0.5-0.7ml of nebulizer solutions in mouth piece area every time when I use. When I use sodium chloride it leaks but not bad. I have used Phillips Mesh nebulizer, Aura mesh nebulizer, Omron NU- E 100 Micro Air nebulizer, and Pari E Rapid Nebulizer. To me, Pari Baby Go seems best to use while travel because it is small & easy to sterilize while travel. I am going to use Pari Boy Go for Duoneb & Pro Neb Max for 7 % saline at home.

If you're someone who likes/needs to nebulize every last drop of saline, I suspect the PARI BOY Go may not be for you. As @bkim408 mentioned, it does leave a small amount of residual saline in the mouthpiece. The eRapid also leaves some residual saline, but with a few gentle shakes of the handset toward the end, I can nebulize virtually all of it.
The PARI BOY Go is an excellent travel solution because of its compact size, speed, and the fact that there are only two parts to sterilize. It must be held upright to prevent leaking.
For me, nebulizing is a means to an end. Its purpose is to help mobilize mucus so I can move on to the essential part, airway clearance.
