Ok so I just joined and discovered instead of putting my name as hopeforever it came out hoeforever. How do I change this?

More importantly I soak my eflow head in alcohol 24/7 is this correct way of steralizing it? I ask because it is so strong that when I do do my neb I cough so much because of the alcohol smell. How do you still keep it sanitized without loosing your med to coughing?

Thanks so much for any help given!

Yes there are a lot of threads on this...

and a lot of different opinions on how to clean it. I started using an eflow 3 1/2 years ago with aztreonam. In the video tutorial, I was instructed to wash with water and (un-scented and non-antibacterial) soap after each use. It NEVER said to me, to keep it in alcohol for a prolonged period of time. I was told however, to 'sterilize' it once a day or every other day...by boiling the plastic and rubber pieces and placing the head in alcohol for TEN minutes. Then let the items air dry.

I dont sterilize it as often as I should. Maybe once or twice a week. I do wash it with soap and water after each use. I am healthier than I was then and I have never had any problems with the head clogging. And I also use HTS with the eflow now. It takes longer, yes, but it has never clogged on me to the point where I have to sterilize it immediately before using it. And then I sterilize it and the timing is much better.
