How long does it take to neb Tobi?

Sometimes I notice that when it's more humid, the tobi nebs take a little longer; however, not that long. DS does duo neb .5 of albuterol and a vial of atrovent and that takes about 15 minutes. And his pulmozyme takes about 10-15 minutes. That's with either the devilbiss or the pari compressor.

I think mine takes about 20 minutes too, with a Pari LC + and an Ultra II. My Pulmozyme and Xopenex take somewhere around 7-10 mins, my HS (4ml) takes about 15-20 mins.

barbc, how old are your nebs? Have you tried soaking them in a vinegar/water mix to get the minerals deposits off? I have to do that every once in a while, or else mine clog and work really slowly. Also, I believe there has been a person or 2 here whose Ultra II's have not worked right pretty much right from the start- you may want to contact Pari if it's not your nebs.
