I am sorry but unsure how to start a new post. I just received a Volara nebulizing machine with instruction from the respiratory therapist. I used it for the first time this morning. There is still saline in the nebulizing port. Does anyone have this Volara and does it not use up all the saline during a treatment? My machine is also set on "medium" for now. The therapist said to start there and work up to the "high" setting. Maybe more solution will be gone on that setting? And do most use the high setting? I do feel it works better than my nebulizer I had that was 3 years old. Thanks for any help/suggestion.

I don't have the Volara, but my old nebulizer used to leave about 15% of the solution in the cup.
So now, are you using vibratory nebulizer (Volara), vest and Aerobika? That's a lot!

I use the smart vest, 7% saline and now the Volara at the same time. I usually nebulize twice daily. Occasionally once a day on busy days. I have stayed healthy with no other flare ups or infections. My Volara uses about half of the saline in the cup.
