"Friends of mine" have used it up to FL250 with extreme comfort and excellent saturations. Typical saturations at FL230 are 91-93%. I used a 40CF carbon fiber tank that I bought from an ambulance outfitter (saving about $600 and a lot of weight) and have a built in system that weighs minimal and lasts a very long time. I also refills it from my own 250CF O2 tanks and it is so simple, inexpensive, and quick. I have found that when the weather is lousy and bumpy I have landed with the O2 on and not known it. The nasal dryness issue is a big deal on long high altitude flights with a continuous flow system, and using a face mask makes for a unpleasant experience.
