Looks like it but let some of the other O2 huffers chime in first.

Mr. Happy uses his for a bong.

The pictured mask, a prime example of a Non-Rebreather Mask, is the absolute MINIMUM you need for proper O2 delivery to work. A better mouse trap is the Clustermasx. (http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~tritech2/clusterx/index.html)

Watch the Bell Tower for upcoming availability.

Are you encouraging wildhaus to NOT order the non-rebreather mask immediately? Do you want him to wait in line for a few months until the clustermasx becomes available to newbies?

No. They look great. I'll take a couple, especially if they're Swiss made. Anything like their watches?

Well, pretty much, yes. For now.

gardengal, your reply was to to original non-rebreather mask post, not the clustermasx post.
Yes, gardengal. It does make a huge difference if you use the non-rebreather mask in the original post in this thread and the "oxygen info" link on the left side of this page.

Thats the one you need right there, I've always had fantastic luck using the good old plain non-rebreather as pictured.

I have been using this one for about six months. Just a "plain" old mask. It has been a real gift. 15 minutes max and I'm normally feeling much better.

Reminds me of another piece of "adaptive technology", the apple with the core carved out and placement of aluminum foil with pin holes for a screen. Did the job.
