I have many electric kettles sitting around. Wonder if I can rig a silicone cover to convert one into this?

Quote from LivelyMarmot6602 :
Not sure why you're getting downvoted, as it's true for me too. Though whether its the workout or a result of me drinking more water because I'm working out and thus being more hydrated, I don't know. Either way, this is useful on the occasional once a month, its the day I didn't work out and still wake up middle of the night with breathing problems.
I can't downvote because I browse on the web but I'm guessing it has something to do with sick people not wanting to workout. I just had that new strain of covid and struggled to move around the house. This would've come in handy though I kind of want a saline nebulizer instead.

You can vote, even on the desktop version. At the bottom of the forum, just before the rest of the footer are three links: Redesign View - Mobile - Full Site. Just click on "Redesign View"

Now you can vote, and if you don't like the look, you can switch back again.

The "why don't people save money and just work out" is good for a chuckle because its partly true but as the air gets dryer you're still going to have inflamed sinuses and probably your nose is gonna get dried out from sucking in that much dry air.

But there's plenty of things you can do. Alternatively you could just eat something spicy (or actually most food gets my sinuses going, but spicy gets it flowing), which well you can probably just sniff some crush pepper or other as well. You can also work on taking deep breaths when showering. And if you have mucus built up in your throat, gargle some water (and shower head can double as a water pick as well).

If this is too expensive and you already have an electric (probably not a great idea to do this over a gas source) tea pot or other (steam cleaner, clothes iron), plug it in and boil/steam up some water. Just be mindful of how hot that steam can be.

And for the netti pot, you can just cup water (as someone else mentioned, distilled if possible) and snort it (and exhale it, you don't really want to get a lot of water into your lungs, you basically create a push/pull mechanism) or get one of those dropper/plunger (where you squeeze it and it inhales the water) things and spray up in your nose. They also make little squeeze bottles of saline solution to squirt in your nose (I know Wal-Mart carries some under their store brand, its cheap like not even $1 I think?) for on the go relief.

If you're prone to your nose drying out, get a q tip with a bit of vaseline (less is more here) or Vick's (if you're stopped up), or just some oil and work it around your nose a bit. More effective and less prone to getting the Vick's on your clothes/blankets compared to rubbing it on your chest.
Quote from awdawg :
Just make sure to do those sick workouts at home. Always drove me nuts the number of people that would be at the gym sick and never be the same people wiping equipment down.
Unless they're wiping it down with something that would disinfect its not like wiping it down will do much and that goes extra for anything airborn. Not saying you're not aware of that and its just further reinforcement of how inconsiderate those people are rather than it being about the transference of germs.
Quote from deshwasi :

I do believe you can find shrouds/hoods to accomplish exactly that, but you really don't even need it, just lean near and breath in as you vent the steam, could throw a towel over your head as you lean over so as to try and concentrate it. But any excess will go towards humidifying the air in general, which has some benefit.

I've actually wondered why someone doesn't make/market like distilled water cartridges to use with vapes for a blast of targeted steam for this exact reason (plus it'd give cover for the addicts that would want to have an excuse to hit their vape). They probably do (have a hunch there's ones with "essential oils" and other supposed health wonders), and if I remember I searched for such and there was something about how the vaping mechanisms are inefficient for this and that it can actually wear them out. But a decent amount of that stuff is straight up disposable now.

I should clarify, I mean pure water, not vape juice as while that probably does help with some relief, the long term impacts of the nicotine and other is not gonna be a positive.

I bought this before but returned it. The steam smells like burnt metal or something. I went back to old-school steaming using electric kettle.

Neat looking product. Using tap water with it doesn't seem super intelligent though.

Good deal and I can vouch on their effectiveness for Asthama & Sinus relief.

They are probably clearing these out to introduce portable, rechargeable and cordless inhalers.
Their price not long ago (since July) was $32. It's an ok price (tepid deal) near all time lows ($28) but not exactly a screecher.

Is it only for sinus or can help loosen bronchial mucus?

Checked the reviews, and it sounds like this probably won't help postnasal drip phlegm as much as a neti pot would...

Quote from J03 :
Which one do you have? Hate using the bottle but like the results. Maybe I'll use it more if it's a powered one but it seems like I would have more stuff to clean too.
oh glad you asked.
so after the neti pot i moved on to a powered one like this.
https://www.amazon.com/Irrigation...B0BRMPFG6X
(not exact model, but similar)
however.. i found an even better one.
I now use this. (exact model)
https://www.amazon.com/SinuPulse-...1CWT4JI​
it's pricey.. but really blows the snot out of your sinuses. I start on like 2 or 3 and then slowly ramp up to full power. 100% can recommend.

also note: use distilled water only (no tap water) and get the saline packets.
put in the saline packets, add 400 ml or so of water.. blast away

edit 2: my link didn't make it..search amazon SinuPulse Elite Advanced Nasal Irrigation System with 30 SinuAir Saline Packets
2nd link seems to work now
