Title: Clustermasx Availability?
Post by RichardN on Feb 7^th, 2008, 3:21pm

Does anyone know if Clustermasx is still in back-order mode?

I have two, and lost one of the (balloon) face mask part. I keep the one complete mask at home, and just breath off the manifold when in the car (I wear glasses and can't use the mask anyway when driving). Would like to get it replaced tho'.

Also, it's been so effective for so many of us . . . would hate to think it won't be available for others who haven't tried it yet.

Someone please let me know this is a temporary shortage.

Be Safe, PFDANs

Richard

Wow, Linda.... That's an awesome link. Although I haven't needed O2 this cycle (knock on wood), I was wanting to get a clustermask just in case. Looks to me like it wouldn't be hard at all to make one myself.

Thank you!!! [smiley=bow.gif]

Okay, I'm confused. Is Clustermasx available? I emailed Clustermasx and never received a reply. I could really use one!

Thanks!

Udate - I just tried to email Clustermasx again and the email bounced. Hmmmm

Order parts from Moore Medicals and Sea-Long and build your own mask.

Okay I ordered the parts for the do it yourself mask. I was impressed with how inexpensive it all was. I appreciate the link.

I will let you know how it goes!

When you get the mask and you are happy, could you please list the parts that you ordered so I may follow suit. Thanks!

It's pretty well spelled out -

Personally, I prefer a bigger bag measured in gallons...

:o Richard, I'm still freaked out that you would drive while using O2-I usually pull over. Dude, be safe indeed!

(And I'm not trying to be a smart butt or anything. Ask anyone here-I ain't that smart :D)

PFDAN y'all,

Okay - got the parts except for the face mask. I put together the pieces and decided to try the thing by breathing in by my mouth and exhaling through my nose just to see how it works.

It was great! I may not use the mask at all!

By the way I did order the larger bag from sea-long and it does the job well.

Thank you so much for the info on the parts. I appreciate it.

One thing, though. Where do you find the little mouthpiece that comes with the clustermasx? I don't like the kind in RJ's pic, I like the one I can put in my mouth.
Where do you find them?

Thanks

For some odd reason, the mouthpieces are hard to find on the net.
Best bet is local drug stores that carry Asthma/O2 supplies. You're looking for a 22mm mouthpiece, and may need a hank of 22mm tubing.
I scored a 12 pack on eBay (due in any day.)
Yell if you don't have any luck locally.
