I cannot taste the steroid, when my asthma is unhappy or if I am using my spacer incorrectly.Sometimes I just fail to breathe in correctly.

I struggle to breathe in the chamber at times. I blow out first out of the chamber then breathe in the chamber 1 puff at a time and repeat,helps alot.

I’ve noticed this! Just recently I can’t taste what I imagined was the gas as I exhale. I changed the aero chamber, it made no difference!

Yeah same here,I clean my chamber once a week. I think it depends what u eat/drink too. I clean the inhaler hole with a cotton bud and that helps!
