While I am waiting to see how my insurance changes settle out, I am thinking of getting a portable neb so I can at least get one for the Xopenex and HTS in the car when I need it/want it. I can also do my Accapella in the car, and then just have my Pulmozyme (and Tobi, etc.) to do with my Pari Proneb when I get where I am going. Any suggestions about what kind to get and where to get it from the cheapest? I am currently looking at the Trek, but I don't know what else is out there...Thanks for any help!

Pari makes a good one. I think it's called the Trek. I had one, but before long the female receptor end that accepts the male power cord basically died, and made the whole unit unable to function. It all depends on what you need, but in general, just get a nice regular compressor and go to radio shack and get a real cheap car lighter adapter and that works for all the car driving stuff. That way you can do a few aresols and be time efficient. The adapter at radio shack is very cheap. Maybe 10 bucks. It's much cheaper and easier than trying to get a special compressor that changes it's engineering to suit that purpose, than to buy an adapter to suit your needs.
As for way cheap, if you need anything check ebay first. My insurance was not about to pay for 4 pari express nebs, and a brand new pari pro neb 2. I looked around, and found brand new versions of those for 100 bucks. 100 bucks is what my insurance/medicare might claim I need to pay *IF* they accepted it all. Instead of dealing with all the bullshit associated with going back and forth with that crap, I just said fug it, get what I need way cheap on ebay. I can't be happier.

Thanks! I found a couple of places that had the Pari Trek S for under $100 without the battery, and a few for under $150 with the battery (including a supply store that is within an hour of me). Hmmm...I wouldn't know where to begin to look for a compressor that will take an adaptor...any suggestions on that? (I've only had the ones that are rated for pulmozyme- Pari and another I can't think of the name of...)
My insurance has a big deductible, and doesn't pay for nebs, etc. until then (I think I have only maxed out my deductible with my vest <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> .

Ignore the whole pari trek thing. Look for a pari proneb ultra 2. I got mine on ebay for under 60 bucks. Then you go to radio shack and spend 10 bucks on an adapter that lets you connect your power cord to your car so you can do nebs while you drive around. Looking back, who really needs the ability to do their nebs with absolutely no power source near like the pari trek gives? Unless you are going deep woods camping (and that would only be like one 10 hour period cause you cant recharge your battery), who cares? The only benefit you can get from a pari trek is that there is a battery pack, that i'm sure after an hour or so of nebs, the life goes down to near nothing. So It's technically an emergency useage battery. In my opinion, you are 10,000% better getting a very nice compressor and then spending 10 bucks on an adapter to suit your needs for a car power source. My pari trek is still sitting here broken, and I paid a boatload for the compressor. I basically spent 100 bucks for sterile brand new parts that are MSRP $ for atleast 200 bucks. To me, ebay is the way to go.
