Reddit mentions of AGPTEK Aluminum Mini Mist Maker Fogger Water Fountain Pond Fog Machine Atomi, Silver

This is the one I have. It's cheap, small, and effective. It's also pretty fun to play with. When I first got it I couldn't resist making my kitchen counter spooky.

This is the working end of a ultrasonic mister unit.

I use this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00P91ZFPA/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1453408950&sr=8-2&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=ultrasonic+fogger&dpPl=1&dpID=412wzE0GKOL&ref=plSrch

I use a fogger on a timer. The folder is outside the table and is directed in like a waterfall. Looks awesome. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00P91ZFPA/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1521297502&sr=8-6&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=fogger&dpPl=1&dpID=31QpNrG%2B9DL&ref=plSrch

It's actually a mister for a mini room fountain. Haven't seen something like this before. Definitely more convenient than 8 top feeds

Then a 10 gallon rubbermaid container. Then 3" net pots and 3" neoprene inserts. I used an extra net pot and zip tied some neoprene scraps to make the ultrasonic fogger float at its ideal height.

I'm using these $10 foggers as humidifiers. Been told they work just as well but cheaper

Can u recommended a humidifier that works well for less than $30 - $40?

I am using the arduino to control everything that is controlled, including to monitor temp and control the turner timer.

Humidity is definitely controllable as long as I can find/build something that can put out enough moisture to raise the humidity - but also be turned off equally as effectively. Currently I'm planning on using a ultrasonic mister. (https://www.amazon.com/AGPtek-Aluminum-Fountain-Machine-Atomizer/dp/B00P91ZFPA) I'll post again to show the results of that.

You could use this With a small 6 cell lipo battery.

Edit: The problem with using a vape is the vapor will pretty much just sit there in the tank or the atomizer and not go anywhere because there's nothing forcing air through it so you would still need some type of air pump hooked up to the atomizer And then you have another problem of their only made to run for 2 or 3 seconds at a time while you take a hit off of it running for longer than 10 seconds you're risking overheating and burning parts up.

If you have a little space, meaning a little less than a square meter, you could assemble a fruiting tent with a humidity bucket pretty inexpensively.

Something like this is pretty simple, consisting of a cheap 4 tier "greenhouse", a 5 gallon bucket, pond fogger, and a reasonably sized computer case fan or two.

Basically, just throw the pond fogger into the bucket, and attach the fan to the lid blowing down into the bucket, and have a short length of hose coming out of the lid as well to carry the fog/air into the top of the tent. Fresh air and humidity in one shot. It's worked very well for me for a few years now.

Always happy to talk about it! So I've used a 5 gallon bucket, generally some sort of cheap riser (I use plastic gardening pots normally), and a fogger. The bucket is filled to where the water level is about 1-2 mm above the fogger diagphram and then I mix in nutrient solutions directly to the water (this is how you get maximum fog). After that it's just maintaining water level. I put a small hole in the lid next to the plant and if I open it and no fog comes out it's time for more water. Everything I use is on Amazon for ease of replacement, here's what I've used:
Fogger https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P91ZFPA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_vUL4AbM8YCMX2
Bucket https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A1LUFEY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_XVL4AbGA6P7F2
Plant pots https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XJ5PBH6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_yWL4AbHBY4RWC

As a note, make sure you either buy a black bucket or paint it black (what I did). Either way it's important to not allow algae to form in the nutrient rich water.

I would go with something like this. Check around elsewhere for higher quality or cheaper ones. These work really well and a couple people on here use a few of these in a container to create a really effective large humidifier. That said I don't personally use them because I've had lots of them die quickly. I believe /u/cruzzfish1 has a pretty solid source for them.

With one of these built into it. That's the little device that makes these work.
