sueinmn ...... I'm interesting in your information about a nebulizer with the faster delivery. I am nebulizing 5 products once daily although it is prescribed twice daily. It takes an hour and 45 minutes to go through the five. How long does it take you for your saline nebulization? And, where did you buy the Pari Vios -- Amazon??? Thank you for your info

That's a lot of nebs - no wonder you do once a day. It takes 8-12 minutes to neb the 4 ml saline with the Pari Vios, about 6-7 min to do 2.5 ml levalbuterol (my specified dose).
I got my first one from the respiratory department of our clinic when the kids were small and it lasted over 20 years. I got the current one about 8 years ago at Walgreens pharmacy, right off the shelf with an Rx so insurance would pay part, but even full-priced on line they are around $50 from a number of nebulizer suppliers. Be sure to order the reuseable cup if it isn't included, and throw the disposable one in the cupboard as a backup. I load one with saline, the other with levalbuterol so I don't have to stop and rinse in between.
I have worn out one Innova and gave another away to my daughter who only needs it occasionally because it took 15-20 min for each neb.
