No I didn't. I stuck with this ceramic one and although I still feel like my nostril is too small, I am able to make it work.

my daughter is constantly suffering from stuffiness, and i had never heard of a neti pot. after reading about it, i bought one, which was too large for her. the solution... i bought a nasal aspirator from fred's dollar store for $1.29 and used 1 c. of warm water, 1/2 t kosher salt, 1/4 t baking soda. worked amazingly. the aspirator is a small blue bulb and has a clear triangular tip. it's easier than the pot, cheaper, and the tip will fit anyone's nostrils to make a seal. been using it ever since.

Hygeia is listed on the details and features. When used with the narrow mouth adapter ring. I had the spectra s2, which it was not listed, and it was compatible with this product. Although I did have problems with the standard nipple that came with the starter kit. The flow for some reason was overwhelming for my lo. I recommend buying a couple of the slowflows, depending on what stage your lo is. Goodluck.

Same here. I bought this yesterday, filled with tap water as high as the MAX water line, put some salt before going to bed. It never actually vaporized, even though I added salt again. This morning I added even more salt, and I got neither steam nor sputtering.I think it's been about 4 big fat pinches of (Redmond Real Salt) salt so far... I'm afraid of adding more in case it damages the vaporizer.Ugh, I'm so tired, I keep waking up at night with a stuffed dry bloody nose.

There are two sizes... Stage 1 and 2. The lines on the side of the nipple are more slanted for size 1, and almost straight vertical for size 2. There is a huge difference in flow between the two, so I can only assume that is your issue. If you look carefully there is also a number on most of them. My package came with some of both.

I purchased the multipack for a slotted nose. At first I thought the smallest (IS) would work best for me, but then I tried the middle size (IIS). I wore the middle one for a few hours and thought it was being pushed out of my nose, but it was my imagination.Then I tried the small size again and definitely realized the medium was better for me.

I have not had a problem with heat. As long as the water is not too hot to put in your nose, the neti pot should not be too hot for the palm of your hand. I hope this helps.

I love mine as well and have had mine for quite some time (over a year) and haven't had any problems. The only time it seems that the air pressure is less is when I've inadvertently failed to tighten the valve cap enough. Other than that being your possible problem I'm not sure what to offer as a solution. I use it along with adding a couple tablespoons of Alkalol and the results are just fantastic at stoping a cold in its tracks! Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

I saw this site had replacement pots. http://vitaclaychef.com/replaceable-inner-pot--4.html I would like to know which model you got? Can you program it in 1 minute increments? The reason I ask is that I thought it might work as a steamer, if I used a steamer basket inside. Also, do you have any favorite recipes?

The neti pot is basically an archaic/ outdated method used to clean out the sinuses. Even the bulb is pale in comparison to Sinupulse. The pulsating action of the Sinupulse is very similar to that of a WaterPik for your teeth. Neti pots rinse out the sinuses, Sinupulse FLUSHES out the sinuses. I Have used Sinupulse for over a year now and the results have been phenomenal. I would not recommend anything else.

They come with 4 or 5 (not sure which) different over the nose connectors. Generally you try until you find the right size for your particular face. Hope this helps.

Assume you have a standard neti pot that is shaped like an small elongated teapot. I have a plastic one I bought on Amazon after I broke 2 ceramic ones. I use the tiny scoop that came inside the jar. Use 1 level scoopful

I have 2 water-piks. one is 30 years old and doesn't work will any more. The sinu-pulse replacement sinus irrigator works fine in it but I had bought a new one . It is a "Water-pik Water Flosser". It will not stay in this one. The part that goes into the handle is not long enough to catch. I wish it did fit. My od water-pik is dying. I'm not sure what a "regular water-pik" is, so maybe it will work if I had the right one. Wish I could be more help. Sorry Brother Steve

Other than the pot/pan combos I don't think Toaks makes a small enough pan for these. I own the 750 and the 550, the sacks for the pots are nice, well made even, normally I toss out stuff like that. Standard Nalgene bottles fit great. I know that the traditional vision on stuff like this is space and everything fitting together, but what I've taken to doing is keeping a titanium plate and letting it do double duty as a shallow fry pan. If your determined to nest pieces I would try the Toaks 100mm or 106mm bowl and purchase a separate pot grabber for the bowl, MSR has several to choose from right here on Amazon, along with titanium plates if you wish to try that.

The neti pot requires turning your head to the side and using gravity to deliver the solution. This caused problems for me because the fluid tended to run into my ear canal and plug up my ears. With the squeeze bottle, you keep your head upright. Much better for me, your mileage may vary.

Distilled or boiled water is definately a must! Two people died recently from using tap water up their nose with a neti pot. There is an amoeba Naegleria fowleri that can be found in tap water. When ingested it is fine but if it gets up in your nose it can cause a brain infection. Even if you think your water is fine is it worth the risk? Here is a helpful article.http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2011/12/16/two-dead-in-louisiana-after-unclean-water-used-in-neti-pots/

We were able to shorten the one we bought up but we have have not purchased additional ones. I like it higher because you can't see as much plumbing.Does anyone know who I can call for customer service-one of the silicone water nipples popped inside the unit and I need help- actually was shipped that way.

Judy.. I was using the elephant ear on my left side ear and the water was starting to come out my nose, I stopped thinking this wasn't supposed to happen- I tried it again with light presses and water started coming out the nose again. I couldn't find anything online in regards to this happening? Im going to probably be getting a doctors appointment tomorrow to get my left ear checked out. Is this something that normally occurs? it didn't come out the right side so Im thinking it isn't something that should happen
