Haha I have a neti-pot too! I haven't really used it regularly though. It's just sitting in my bathroom right now. I'm always impatient waiting for it to reach the proper temperature after I boil the water. Your post has inspired me to give it a shot consistently though.

Yes, I used it infrequently but these days I am using it a lot more. I only have like 3 more packets left so I will probably use those up and then buy a new box when I go back to Canada this summer.
You boil the water? I just heat up filtered water until it becomes warm.
I brought a whole box with me but haven't used much. I bet you could find them on Taobao.
Yeah you're supposed to use distilled water from what I've read. In rare cases, people have used tap water and it's lead to brain infections. Sounds crazy I know but I guess I'm just a little sketched after reading that.
Hell no, I would never use China's tap water to irrigate my sinuses lol. Brain infections sounds awful. Holy crap.
Lol no these were cases back in Canada and the States where tap water is relatively healthy. The articles I read just said something along the lines that our stomach has acid that can kill bacteria and organisms in water but our nose obviously doesn't. Even the filtered water here can be a little suspect so I figure it's better to be cautious.
Alright, good looking out!
