Where in Australia can I buy from? Thanks in advance.
Just got it through your link. Thanks for the video and hack. They say I should get it today. So I can’t wait to use it! I have been holding out from buying this thing since 2015 😂. And I’m just now getting around to buying it. It seems like with age my allergies have gotten worse. So it makes more sense now.
Just bought my unit. This morning, the water went through really quickly and I felt like I needed a second go. Mixed up salt water in my traditional neti pot, opened the top of the Navage and popped the used pod out. Poured the mixed solution into the Navage up to the fill line, popped the used pod back in, tripped the upper switch as shown in your video, closed the lid, and I was back in business. I probably *will* buy pods, but not for every time I use it. So far it seems to get better results than my traditional neti pot and squeeze bottle.
I just tried mine for the first time and yes! It's exactly what I needed. 😊
I got sinus surgery not long ago and it helped and then I bought this navage. After using it I have never breathed through my nose so clearly in my life until now. It works!
0ver 50 years of serious allergies resulting in at least one or two sinus infections a year. Several years ago I got a Navage because my physician told me to use ay netty pot and I hate them. Seriously the best thing for decreasing congestion, infections, and overall improved breathing. But I also noticed that on days when the CPAP left my nose/sinuses a bit dry, a quick run of the Navage moistens it right back up. I have never regretted this purchase.
Hey Jimmy, really appreciate this comment mate. Great to hear it's working well for you and thousands of other
😅llll
I buy those Neil-Med saline powder packs which you can get really cheaply. I have an 8-ounce water bottle I fill with warm water, add the saline powder packet and shake for 10 seconds - Then pour it in the machine and save money.
Another alternative is using a big syringe with a separately sold nasal tip to fit in and I use the off the shelf normal saline water..... Yet using an automatic machine is pretty good if one can afford it.
Thanks Nicko for the hack, much appreciated.
I use one of these when I get head colds or get really stuffed up during allergy season. The hack will save you money in the long run and will make it easier to travel with in the future without having to pack the saline Pods especially if flying via a plane.
Cheers Mate...
Love the Aussie humor and down home tutorial. Awaiting my Navage in the mail. I suffer from chronic nasal infections due to chemotherapy treatments. Hoping this will work! Excellent video mate, thanks for your efforts! G'Day from North America!
Ordered mainly based on your review, thanks a ton!
The things you do for your channel. You are a brave man.
haha, in what way?
Using that machine multiple times for the video
Thanks for sharing mate. Come across this video accidentally while looking for somewhere to buy these pods. Accidentally left the pods behind in the US and haven’t been able to find the pods anywhere in Australia. This hack is genius. Will give it a go today. Thanks mate and Go Pies!!!!!
Dont forget to rinse the white mechanism switches after use. The salt can crystalise in them and prevent the on switch from working.
It may be overkill, but I get chronic sinusitis about every 3mons. Its exhausting and sometimes the neti pot/bottle doesnt do it. You've convinced me to go for it.
Did you get it? 😱
I met a veteran once who had the same problem and a regular neti pot wasn't helping him, his doctor told him to buy the squeeze bottle and shoot the solution hard in so that it will reach into the cavities where the infection is. I suggest you visit an otorhinolaryngologist and see what they say, they may have a more modern and effective solution as well.
@freewithnature yes! I bought it and it's been very helpful.
@Alex-ny1qg I wish they would advise more. I'm sensitive to a lot of things and my allergies are terrible. Easily having triggers. But not long after this comment I had to have my sinuses scraped and allergy shots started. This is after two rounds of leviaquin and methylprednisolone. Unfortunately, my ENT has seen me quite a bit the last two years.
@alyr7443 sorry to hear that you have is so rough. Hopefully with this new device you will get better, I suggest you do before the seasons some rinsing just to be sure and you could also try good grade hydrogen peroxide solution for rinsing your sinuses, you can look online about details but I suggest to buy a 3% solution and use it diluted with destined water, or boil the tap water for at least 3 minutes on the stove to kill all bacteria and then create a 1.5% solution each time you rinse.
Another way to help you is to get NRT(Nasal release technique) it's a balloon inserted into your sinus which then is pumped with air for just a second and it expands and creates a cranionasal release which helps with sinusitis among a plethora of other things. But of course visit a specialist for this.
I hope you will get relief or even better greet completely cured .
😂😂😂😂 Good man Nicko. Your dedication to the cause knows no bounds. 👊
Hahaha ain't that the truth! About to 'splint' my nose this week. Should be fun times
I’m using NeilMed Sinus Rinse it seams it does the same thing but all u have to do is squeeze the the bottle and open your mouth ( same deal withe water) it’s much easier you should do a review on it Btw great videos Mate!
He has
I love mine had a head cold for 4 days and used it for 2 days and cleared me right out!😊
Another win for Canadian ingenuity. I buy the salt pods from them as I'm from Canada and want to support their company. I probably should use it more than I do.
I think $100 for a water pump is fair support. I got no problem with them selling pods but don't make me buy them! Cheers
Appreciate the two views of assembly.
Should be called nosespresso 😂
I loves having this on Saturday when I got my poor ol nose. Takes the gear right out!!!!
Wouldn't mind that right now. Nose is fucked
Returned mine. It's a racket to sell saline. Switched to a SinuPulse Elite. Haven't had a sinus infection in nearly a year and can use any saline product.
Does the sinupulse elite have more suction power? My right sinus is pretty clogged but will allow air to exit just not enter so even though I adjusted this unit correctly it doesn't seem to have quite enough suction to pull the water through the right side. That's why I'm curious if the other unit has more power
Sorry to tell folks. This system is better then the others.
Giving you more 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 up. Just purchased and waiting for it to be delivered
Love mine. Bought the pods for years but recently “hacked” it to fill with regular distilled water and a saline wash packet of salt. Much cheaper
Please share how to hack thx!
@@tarynkathleen3699 cut out the outline of the salt pod so it still fills the ring in the unit. Then you have to manually press a notch under the lid. There are some videos online
That device will eliminate the use of a lot of damaging nasal sprays. Looks more efficient than a Neti Pot.
Something to consider. Thanks for the demo Nick.
Would you do a video on various sleep apnea pillows. Noticed a big improvement in results since using mine. Like to hear what you say on getting a correct one as they can be an expensive mistake. I think mine could be more comfortable, esp. for my shoulders Thanks.
Hey Nicko, I used a couple of drops of super glue to permahack.. worked a treat 😂
Oh i love that idea! I'll give it a try buddy
Thanks man. Good explanation and hack. I just used it. Seems good so far. Easier and cleaner than a netipot. Let's see how long the relief lasts tho. I have bad allergies. Thanks 👍
Nicko, know exactly how you feel after a new baby, seems like just yesterday. Mine are 16 and 18. LMFAO. You look like I feel! Great job buddy, keep up the good work.
I used this before and loved it! But, today, when I tried it, nothing got sucked into the lower tank. It just started backing up and shooting outta the top. Guess I'm 100% blocked on the left side, which really sucks... But, normally this thing works amazingly well.
35g of kosher salt to a us gallon (3.78 litres) makes the same concentration as required. Or 9.26g per litre.
Thank you buddy👍🏾
@@bradleymiller8623 you’re welcome mate. I’ve been using this ratio for a few years now, it works out great. Buy a gallon of distilled water, measure out your salt, add to water and away you go! All the best!
the fact that you have to buy salt pods is the reason i haven't bought a navage yet. perhaps i will now
Love the video mate. This device has done me wonders
Thanks for the great comment buddy. Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers
Super hilarious, I'm digging the content... going to buy one.
When you have severe allergies, this saves so much discomfort. After I got Covid my allergies were out of control, probably because the nasal hairs were all destroyed, due to the bruning infection it caused. Its an on going condition.
How about a video showing us how a nail trimming device operates? Cheers matey!
I just use my Neti Pot with pharmaceutical grade salt. No expensive gadgets and works like a charm.😉
Thank you , this was extremely helpful. The hack is great❤
I loved your review, funny and insightful. Thank you!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm sure this machine and netti's or bottles work for some folks. But they are limited in that can only reach the lower nasal passages and only rinse out what happens to be there at that moment. I don't think these devices will do much over time to reach the source of the crud: the UPPER nasal passages and sinuses. That said, I do get a brief thinning of post nasal drip from a bottle style rinser, that along with FloNase spray and staying hydrated helps me sleep better - along with CPAP.
$100 here in the USA but goddam is it worth it. Game changer.
Dude. Your face in the thumbnail pic 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Sofa king funny and likely something I'd do as well.
Anyway, thanks for your review. I got one but unfortunately it doesnt seem to have enough suction for my shnoz/sinusitis issues. Ima try again a few times at least to see what happens
I appreciate your great review 👍👍👍
The salt packs that come with the Navage are pretty crummy. I rigged my Navage to work without the packs and use my own mixture and it works a hell of lot better. Oil of oregano, Redmond’s salt and tree oil.
The idea of douching my nose just sounds horrible! Maybe if i was sick and really stuffed up. I certainly wouldn't do this every night. It has to have some negative effects if you use it everyday!
Thanks for the hack secret! 👍
You bet!
Looks like a good system - may try it out, and thanks for the hack! My current before sleep procedure is 2 shots of Flixonase (fluticasone proprionate) up each nostril followed by a hot shower. The combination of the nasal spray and steam loosens much of the gunge which can be blown out. It's not perfect but works most nights.
Interesting. I use the Flucatisone after rinsing my sinuses. I was prescribed Veramyst many years ago for allergies and eventually my insurance company (US medical "system") refused to pay for it and I found that generic Flucatisone was all I needed, not the expensive proprietary product she had prescribed. One of the reasons I left that doctor.
My current before sleep procedure is 2 shots of Jim Beam Gold
@@aaa7189 1 for each nostril? That's gotta sting!
I use the NeilMed salt packets and distilled water along with the YT hack I found. Waaaaay cheaper!
Cheaper aint always better
@@CPAPReviews NeilMed is a highly respected manufacturer of Saline packets and also sell their own NetiPot. In this case, cheaper IS better!
@@Equinox051256 Yeah its the same process, flushing out the sinuses, i agree with this cheaper method
Great video!!! And thanks for the hack. Wow they just keep going up on the price. But how horrible I feel whenever my allergies start acting up makes me want to pay any price. I literally get hay fever within a few hours if I don’t stop my nose from itching and running. It’s a terrible thing. And unfortunately my dogs have caused me to develop a dog allergy so yeah I’m suffering a lot.
The hanks for the hack!
3:13 I use boiled, cooled tap water in my humidification chamber. Our tap water is chlorinated so the boiling and cooling drives off the chlorine which irritates my nasal passages.
Chlorine drives off? Like in a car?
Don’t you love it, when you have sinus congestion and he starts talking like that 😂😂
I use mine before bed and in the mornings. I us a 32 oz glass bottle and mix a large amount and just leave it by the bathroom sink. weather I shower in the morning or before bed I do it just after. Try in and out of both nostrils, for me it works much better going into my left.
navage out her punching air with his hack
I have lots d saline iv bags at work. It’ll save me money 😅
Thinking about getting one, well my wife wants me to get one. I also use a cpap to help me sleep. The one think that you didn’t do include was - how it feels while doing it. ?? Thanks so much.
Interesting. I've been using the Neilmed bottle for many years. I don't need to replace them every 3 months, even though they suggest it. I actually have an excess of bottles because I buy them as a kit on a good sale at Costco. This might do a more through cleaning. I suppose your hack would also allow me to just use the less expensive saline packets from Neilmed in it. Obviously these folks aren't sponsoring you! At least not after offering that hack!
Awesome. I especially liked when you "fucked it up" 😂 you're awesome.
Little late to the party, It could of been flase information but I seen overdoing the rinse can actually damage your nasal passages 🤧 I mean.. Im a doctor as of 3 minutes ago. Id know
Nah it's true! Like everything in life though. Don't over do it
It’s definitely an oops when you forget to put the warm water in first before the pod. 😢 I’ve done it 2-3 times and didn’t want to waste the pod and was forced to double up since I didn’t know the hack. But that won’t happen again.
For all the people in the Netherlands. You can use Dutch tapwater. We have one of the cleanest water in the world.
This is dangerous advice. The water might be clean enough for consumption, but not for a nasal rinse!!!
Um...did I miss the second part of the hack, you know---the one that gives the recipe/proportion of water/dissolved salt to use?
I just started CPAP Therapy about 1 month ago. Haven’t had a cold or allergies since then yet. I was wondering what other people on therapy did when they get a little under the weather. I only have a small nasal mask right now. I might look into one of those machines because that was one huge worry for me. How would I breathe with a minor cold let alone a flu?
It's always good to have a full face mask for when you are sick. Make sure you dial in your own pressure range if you are using Auto pressure. My doctor set me up on 5 to 16 and that was horrible! I got my machine a year ago. I kept raising my starting pressure over the first few months. Now I'm super happy with a range of 10 to 12. I get way better sleep with a small pressure range. 5 was way to low for me so half the night I wasn't at the pressure I needed.
@@KPHVAC that’s good to know. I didn’t know we can dial in our own pressure. I thought we had to stay with the prescribed pressure. I think my pressure is too to because I feel like it’s sometimes a real effort to breathe. I’m still a newbie. Thanks for the info!
@@cptcurk192 You are supposed to talk to your doctor but yes you can learn how to get into the clinical menue on your machine and change pressures. My sleep doctor is terrible. I basically learned everything I need to know and made the CPAP therapy work for me.
I love the idea but man that screams bacteria after couple uses, how on earth can you sanitize it? Again great idea but would be scared to ingest nasty bacteria into my sinuses.
Forgot to wish you a very Happy Father’s Day!
That's lovely of you Carole Thank you kindly
I love mine.
Thank god i watched you make your mistake instead of following right behind you😂😂😂
Hello Nick, for those doing the cable tie hack, does the person add something like a teaspoon of salt to the water to achieve the same result?
That was a rather disconcerting video but such is life. 😂
Yes, you can use neti pot salt. Don't use table salt.
The salt used is the same as used in a neti pot. It's a lot cheaper. Don't use table salt.
I use cocaine in mine , works great!
What kind of water do you use ? Distilled?
Where is everyone in Australia buying theirs from? I can't find it available in Australia.
Since the body adapts to whatever you do to it, do you think the body would become dependent on it?
“Aww, Look at that” 😂
Anyone know if this will help with nasal polyps?
there is no reason to bypass the safety feature unless you have sterile saline to fill it with. the pods kill microbes that are in drinking water that shouldn't be exposed to your sinus tissues
I am not “Russian” to shoot vodka up my nose 😂
Thank you.
Question: does it really have suction going on in the exiting nostril? Because one side of my sinus is often blocked and I need the suction.
I just got one a month ago
It works really well! Don't like how you can't use it without the pods though
That’s nothing. I couldn’t imagine what would come out of mine. Probably clogging the machine
VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT! THIS PRODUCT IS FSA AND HSA ELIGIABLE! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SPEND YOUR POCKETM ONEY ON IT IF YOU HAVE AN FSA OR HSA!!!!!
Is this much more effective than the bottles you squeeze that are only a few dollars at the drug store?
why would you buy saltwater pods when you can make you own?
PLEASE help me, I have tried it 4 times, I guess I am doing it wrong, nothing is going into the bottom tank.
Navage hates us for this one simple trick
Do you have to replace the batteries sometime? My system is not working full strength, in fact it is NOT working properly, and I think batteries should be changed. I just bought it 1 month ago. What do you suggest?
Can you use super glue on those two switches?
Still like it after a year???
Is this available in Australia? I imported one from the US a couple of years ago. Paid an arm and a leg for it. It worked for a while and then the battery compartment got flooded. Had to throw it away. So went back to the plastic bottle.
I can never breathe people think I’m using drugs because I blow my now soo much. It sux
Does that motor run on batteries. I just bought mine today I wish I had this along time ago. I hate sneeze attacks
Nicko mate that thing is overkill. Get the same results cheaper as I do every night. Get the NeilMed kit at your drugstore (simple bottle with the sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate packages) warm the water up a bit in the microwave & get great results without that big clumsy contraption in your bathroom taking up space. Love your channel & all you great sharing info. Have a great day mate!
Thanks mate, i've got the NeilMed bottle, this one definitely gets better results for me. Cheers brother
@@CPAPReviews Awesome! your the man!
@@TheDRUM2112I've got quite the same opinion about this weird AF nasal wash machine. I have both the squeeze bottle and the neti pot style. Depending on the level of sinus symptoms I use the squeeze bottle if more congested, the neti pot style if mildly congested or skip it if all is fine.
But this machine is just fricking overkill.....
@@lesliehyde agreed!
@@CPAPReviews My allergy specialist warned me to use this kind of bottles after an infection. He learned me to do it with only a spoon and table salt.
The water doesn’t circulate through to the bottom I almost swallow. What am I doing wrong?
Just got it and I can’t get it to empty in the reservoir. It’s keeps going down my throat!!!
Suggestions?
Same issue for me
unavailable in Europe, as usual
How do I stop the saline from going in my throat ?
i have a airsense 11... Can I add something to the water for better breathing...I often wake up with my nose blocked. Sorry i use a translator
Why can’t you just leave an empty pod in there?
Good question, can you reuse them ?
The engineer(s) that designed the mechanism should be fired for allowing such easy workaround of the cartridge trigger mechanism. If I was on team, you would not have such easy way of bypassing. hahaha
I think it depends on what the design was really for. If it's for the printer reason yeah not great, but on some of the tutorials like for troubleshooting the motor he says its so people dont shoot straight water and cause irritation. Could be both, but in the first case if you looked up a bypass you probably know to put in some saline salt with your water which is still a fair enough design.
What about battery life?
sir I did a saline irrigation in the past. my problem is the water doesnt come out on my other nostrils. it will just flow back on the nostril where I inserted the nasal bottle. what is wrong with my nose :(
Either a deviated septum or swollen Turbinate's, go see an ENT doctor ✌
Is it any better than a regular neti pod though? If so, why?
I am looking into the navage. I have a cold and the water from the neti pot won't flow through.
