Title: Where to buy Optimask or alike in EU
Post by MattyAA on Jun 3^rd, 2010 at 10:44am

Hello I am in urge to find some store selling good non-rebreather masks that were tested by Clusterheads as I am taking Clusterbuster route and could try O2 if it can help me ease pain.

Thank you all for response in advance!

Will they ship it to Poland, EU? And how long does it usually take to deliver? 1 week 2 weeks?

Also thank you for response :)! Looking at the website you linked me, sounds promising but I understand shop is placed in USA.

Does anyone know where one could order a Cluster O2 mask these days, preferably in Europe? The shipping and customs increase the price considerably from US to EU.

Thanks.

Hi Shakey,
Have you tried breathing the O2 directly in your mouth from the end of the see-through plastic pipe?
I find that for me it is the most efficient way to get rid of the shadows. I keep my hand on the valve and turn it off when keeeping in the O2 and exhaling, I find it is very economicl that way.
All th best

I had one sent to England and it was below the limit for customs.

You're right. The customs limit here is 150€. I meant tax and especially shipping. DJ from CHstore explained that this is the case because the mask is considered a medical equipment.

Thierry,
I find the technique, using the face mask for breathing both through the mouth and the nose and a balloon getting filled with oxygen ready for the next deep breath, most effective. With the amount of time I spend on O2 I can't see myself turning the valve on and off with every breath. Thanks for the suggestion, though ;)

Hey Shakey, I've yet to try the mask for sale on here. Everyone i hear on this site that has tried it, swears by it.
I hope you get it without extra taxes or extra costs .
:)
