UPDATE:
I tried my nebulizer after having boiled all parts last night. It is STILL malfunctioning. The mist is delayed and this morning was it was virtually non existent. I dug my Pari portable nebulizer out (I've never used it before) to see what would happen. The neb cup is performing perfecly and the device started misting immediately, just like my other Pari used to do. My hubby checked the compressor and it appears that the output is very weak. (I also checked the compressor filter and it is fine). It's time to call Pari again and I sure hope they will stand behind their product. It is so frustrating since I only purchased my LC sprint this past May.

I experienced the same issue. My first Vios compressor began having less output by month 5. I was not familiar enough with it then to realize. I always ran it for 5 minutes after treatment to dry out the tubing. I checked the filter, and it looked fine; however, I replaced it anyway, and the airflow did improve, although not as in the beginning of use. I even thought it might be the nebulizer cup, so I got another. That did not help. I finally got another PARI compressor, and it worked well. Then, again after 5 months, flow reduced. At the 6 month mark, it was producing little flow. I got another one while also notifying the company. They sent me a box with another one (without nebulizing cup but with tubing) and had me ship them the defective one and the same box with a postage paid return label. They make a stronger compressor that has a five year warranty, and I will get that next time. Maybe this one is not meant for twice daily, every day extended use?
