Bummer. It sucks when something works and you can't find a replacement. I
am having the same problem with some of my vent circuit parts. Some of the
old parts work better for me but I can't find replacements.

Yeah, those don't work for me, Jim. Every time I've searched for sip and puff 
mouthpieces, that's what I find and usually that's all I find. I'm sure they 
are out there somewhere but who knows what they were originally used for.

I think it got rejected by the list with the photo attached.
I've been using these dental "saliva ejectors" with my sip and puff. They are a 
flexible tube about 5" long with wire embedded so it keeps the shape when you 
bend it.
