Anyone have any nebulizer recommendations?

But the Innospire also requires weekly sterilization, and so would the APOWUS or any other device you choose. I would get the Pari-Trek & disposable neb cups - use each for 5-6 days, washing and drying with soapy water after each use, then discard & replace. A dozen disposable neb cups, each sealed in a snack-size baggie, would be little weight or space. Save the baggies for all the things they are so handy for.

I think that I read somewhere that those disposable neb cups aren’t sterile and you should sterilize before you use them? It kind of makes sense to me, given that I sterilize all of my other equipment before using and wash any new kitchen things (pot, utensils, etc) before using.

Any thoughts on this?

Weekly sterilization wouldn't be a problem because we will be in places where we can boil water pretty much each week. I use the AeroEclipse nebulizer cup which requires sterilizing every other day. I guess I can just clear each day without using the saline solution if I can't sterilize the cup. Or I could just bring extra cups, enough to last a week without sterilizing. That would be a possibility, just extra "stuff" although I could use the same tubing for all of the cups, since that does not require washing or sterilizing.
