@A MyCOPDTeam Member, I have the Inogen units. One is pulse that I take everywhere. I love it. On 2 liters I’m getting about 6 hours or more on the larger battery plus I have a smaller battery which’s last over four hours. Nothing stops me from traveling or having fun on 4 wheelers. I also have the home unit from them also. I go direct to them for everything oxygen. I Love my Inogen products.

I too use a portable OC. Really much easier than the small tanks. Has 2 batteries and both AD and DC chargers.

@A MyCOPDTeam Member just call your oxygen company. I did and I got one. I do have to pay a sm fee. I think it’s 17 a month. I couldn’t afford to buy one. The ones they advertised are very expensive. They are lighter than mine. Mine weighs about 4lbs. I have a handle, a shoulder strap and I can make it into a backpack. Hope this helps Breathe Happy

I have. I went to San Luis Obispo,Ca. at Christmas. I went by train. It was about 8hrs. I took my portable oxygen with me. There are plugs on the train, so I didn’t have to worry about running out of battery. I was apprehensive about going, but once I got on the train I was ok. It was my first trip since being on Oxygen. I did ok. You just have to find the courage to do it. Breathe Happy
