@flib. @windwalker Hi...Now I am confused about blowing back into the nebulizer. The video I posted shows to just keep the nebulizer in the mouth and blow back into it. ?? Hope that is not wrong. That is how I have been doing it.

@flib I wasn't taking into account that some mouthpieces have that little outlet valve or flap to allow exhaled breath to escape through. The main thing is to get the mist into the lungs.

I know. I saw that video too some time ago and also another one. In both the mouth is not removed from the nebulizer...i.e. the person is exhaling back into the nebulizer which seems all wrong. However, if you take you mouth piece out to exhale you are losing some of the mist. Flib
