Me too with Net Pot. So I make a warm salt solution which is what they use for saline solution, a teaspoon salt into approximately 1/4 cup warm water. Stir to melt salt. Pour into my cupped hand. Sniff it up by leaning down, first one nostril then the other. Let the saline solution drip into mouth. A small sniff or two is enough. Also produces nice clean breath for me.
