Anyone have any nebulizer recommendations?

Same advice for the ProNeb - no nebulizer is that slow if working correctly. Yours has a 5 year warranty, and if it older than that, the compressor is porbably worn out.
Also, I find the Sprint nebulizers themselves to be "putzy" - sometimes malfunction or need adjusting to deliver the meds. I prefer the cheaper (but reusable) ones like they use in the hospital - much faster. I buy them 10 at a time, use 2 in rotation, wash daily & sterilize once a week. Just a personal preference - for me, simpler is better.

Sue,
I purchased the cups you recommended and received them yesterday. I used a new cup with my Pari ProNeb Max and it took 20 minutes to neb a half a vial. Is that normal?
Even though this is my second machine, maybe the filter is bad? Any suggestions?
I will also contact the respiratory nurse here at Mayo that just returned from maternity leave and ask questions about the nebulizer.
Thanks Sue for your suggestion and support.
