Aeroneb Go (similar to Eflow)

Regarding the AeroNeb Go, I've had about four of them - which tells you two things: 1. They die frequently, and 2. Their good qualities make it worth while to replace them when they die anyway. I use them for albuterol for asthma.

Despite careful cleaning after each use, these things seem to croak shortly after a year (yes, just after warantee expires). Sometimes you can bring them back for a couple months by letting them "dry out" - don't use them for a few weeks, at all. Not very convenient. Even before they die, the amount of mist they produce starts to drop off; right now mine does less than half what it put out when new, so it takes over twice as long for a dose.

I've compared notes with other people who have used these things daily for years, and they say the same thing: each one is good for about a year. They also have a history of broken conductors in the wires; this has improved with design changes, but the Go is distinctly less ergonomic than the original AeroNeb, and I still have problems with the electrical connector in the mouthpiece corroding and not conducting well.

So, enjoy and consider them a "disposable nebulizer"; that's what I do. When the one I'm using gets to be about a year old, I start the process of ordering a new one. By the time I get it, or shortly afterward, I know I'm gonna need it.
