A ?? to all HT Saline Addicts

I know many of you are hypertonic saline fans, so I am asking:
How long <b>after </b>nebbing does the gunk come up or do you have to make an effort to cough?
How much to use: if 3ml is good, is 5ml or 7 ml better, other than taking forever?
Do any of you get sinuses clearing a few hours after nebbing HTS through nostrils (don't even ask how I manage this lol) ?

Perhaps above has been answered before but I couldn't track anything other than the discussions about it being effective, but no real gory details...I am trying to figure out if I'm doing it right...

Thanks

i'm offically on 4 cc of the HS but the syringe it comes in is 5 cc so i just do all of it, no sense in wasting it and the extra won't hurt me. When i've got a bunch of the stuff down there i cough starting nearly immediately when i start (but that might be a gag reflex because it tastes so salty) and i'll cough all the way though it and for a while after. i get more nasty up during the HS than during anything else, vest etc. espceially when i've missed a dose or am sick. my concentration is 7% and even though its the most simple med, its the most productive

I do between 4 and 5 cc's of the 7% too, and I start coughing up gunk almost immediately. I also get more up during my vest time since I started the HTS. I tried the HTS in the nose thing, but it was too much for my nose! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

i'm not very productive in coughing up stuff, but i do find the 4ml of 7% saline helps. i cough the first few times i inhale, but after that i'm good. i tend to make myself cough to see if i can bring anything up. i don't have a vest i just do my acapella after.
