I have a medline nebulizer compressor I use with my aero eclipse. But I never get all my saline used up. There is always some left after 25 minutes. Am I doing something wrong? Would an Ombra one work better? Thanks

A little bit of saline left behind is normal.
With my ombra compressor and aeroclipse or sprint nebulizer, there's always a little bit of saline left behind. A very little bit. The aeroclipse in breath actuated mode takes 30 mins and non-breath actuated takes around 20+mins. The Sprint does not have the breath activated option and it takes no longer than 15 mins. I use these in concert with the aerobika.
Somewhere I read that the ombra compressor has a certain pressure bar, which is needed for the nebulizers mentioned above, and maybe the aerobika.
I splurged on a PARI eRapid which takes 4 minutes to neb saline BUT it leaves 1ml behind. That's too much. I use it when I don't have time for the ombra/aeroclipse/aerobika trio or when I feel I need an extra session.
