@shooei I recently bought an Innospire Go and holy cow that thing is fast delivering the saline. It takes like five minutes. It's so fast that when I breathe through my mouth it makes me cough terribly because I've had a chronic cough for three years and the air stream is so fast that it tickle my throat is such a way that I can't do it SO I use the little mask thing that covers your nose and I breathe through my nose now. And then I switch it up sometimes and go back to my handy dandy Power Neb Ultra from Drive which, now compared to the Innospire is really slow but I feel like it might deliver the meds better. I don't know. I'm not a scientist. But I might look at the Pari Vios Pro with the Sprint nebulizer. And what is it about the new mouthpiece on the Sprint that you like? What does that expiration valve do? Nan

Yes! It did that to me too, took me a bit to adjust to that air stream. I don't know about the meds either Nan, just how it makes me feel. I don't neb anything but saline. I never thought about trying the mask, but that is a good idea. I liked that the Sprint had that exhale valve so you don't waste meds during the exhale.

Nan- the valve closes on expiration to keep you from blowing the meds out the vent, so you get the full dose. The old valve caused loss of part of it in the stream.
