I can’t recommend a specific brand. Below is basic information on mesh nebulizers:https://briutcare.com/blogs/news/what-is-a-mesh-nebulizer-and-how-does-it-work
Hi Trey. I think based on the technology alone, there aren't many (if any companies) making an "on-demand" mesh nebulizer. The technology itself requires a constant stream of energy to vibrate the mesh to release the aerosol. The thought process is that the mesh should create the most appropriate-sized particulate to get to the lower areas of the lung. You get a higher-quality treatment there for the "waste" that happens when you exhale is negligible. I'll keep looking to see if there are any "on-demand" models, but I haven't found any yet.
