.....well for sure...depends...i could get about 2- 3 aborts per e-tank (typical 5-8 min ea) and around 6+ per m-60. gotta hit the O2 immediately, and i used a 2 oz energy drink on the way...which increases effectiveness immensely. note with the e's you are WAY more portable than a concentrator....had in car and office for 25 yrs...m's at home. ....$ cost can be a consideration if you are renting the concentrator.....will need to do some number crunching as appears you are doing.... ...if the concentrator works for you great....not many clusterheads find so. is not 100% O2 and does it take a while to "warm up" to effectiveness? they didn't used to get up to 10 lpm so looks improved, but 15-25 with a tank is easy and effective.... ...once i got the breathing technique down, plus energy drinks and D3 i would rarely need the triptans (zomig ns (10 mg) my last resort abort....

Hi Bailey, I suppose it depends on the size of tank you get. The smaller ones usually give me a few hours if I'm being conservative (usually not the case if I'm on the O2).. I'm glad the concentrator works for you but I cant help but wonder if the concentrator works how much quicker you could abort with pure O2?

I hadn't even realized a concentrator could go up to 10 lpm (I never tried one). In my earliest cycles as a clusterhead, I found that 10 lpm (from a tank) could somehow abort attacks for me if caught at onset, but of course that went right out the window toot sweet, and next thing you know I was having to huff O2 at 25+ lpm with a trash bag sized reservoir.

Ditch the concentrator if a cluster head. They mix normal air with the pure o2 that you need to effectively abort.
