I have been advised by a Paramedic this evening that I should be taking my Atrovent inhaler through the volmatic spacer and not the Aerochamber Plus spacer device.
I am not doubting what the Paramedic told me but I was just wondering what everyone else does.
Does the Atrovent inhaler work any better if I use the volmatic spacer
If I'm at work I use my aerochamber cos that's what I keep in my work drawer.....if I'm at home I use my volumatic 
Doesn't seem to make much difference to me other than it's definitely more effective through some sort of spacer device than without!
Fee
Thanks for that Fee, I was concerned because I was unsure if I was doing the wrong thing
just backing what fee says
doesn't matter how you take the atrovent, as with salbutamol i suppose ini, via aerochamber or volumatic - as an example, children <6 use the volumatics or aerochamber plus or yellow aerochambers with masks, they are all as effective.

What would you do next?
steroid inhalers and oral thrush 
Is my spacer working?
Salamol doesn’t work for me! Is anyone else finding it less effective than Ventolin?
Preventer gives me asthma
