The reason behind this is the other cigarette lighter plugs are weaker than the front plug. The other cigarette lighter ports in the vehicle may not be strong enough to operate/run and charge the battery on the Inogen One G2.

No. Since the machine is a pulse only system a humidifier bottle can’t be used with this machine. In order to use a humidifier bottle, you need continuous flow and the life choice is a pulse only machine.

  1. A friend of mine passed and her family was kind enough to sell us her machine for my son’s use. I have a couple of questions if you wouldn’t mind helping me. There is a part I don’t know what it is used for. Also how long should I charge the batteries after they’ve been stored for awhile.Thank you.

  2. I have an Inogen One G2 and recently the pulse delivery has become a little erratic. I received a Pulse supply when breathing out. For my own convenience, I use the trolly and the shoulder strap without the Trolley. Other than this erratic supply the noise level seems to have increased with a small vibration. I will be sending it for maintenance and will report back once this is done

    • It’s very difficult to feel the oxygen on inhalation. The unit will alert you if it is not delivering oxygen when it is supposed to.
