I use cool mist from CVS, not Vicks but the same nonsense. It works wonderfully, just gotta rig up a reservoir expansion somehow. It's great in my closet greenhouse, all on its own.

No, they're not the same thing, but damned if I know what the difference is.

Standard cool mist is an IMPELLER TYPE.
Not ultrasonic.

"coolmist" is a GENERIC NAME.

Lots of manufactures use the name for different things.
But, those things function differently.

Gotcha--"cool mist" means "not hot mist/vaporizer". Figures.

Impellers and ultrasonics seem to do about the same job in my opinion, though. My impeller gets my whole greenhouse in the mid 90%s, and that's good enough for me.

The IMPELLER in a normal cool mist, works as a very low volume fan.
It will PUSH air.
An ULTRASONIC has no fan.
So, it doesn't provide FAE.

Okay, that makes sense. I saw one tek where a guy uses both, which seems to me like nonsense, since the impeller based model gives adequate humidification.

My greenhouse has a filter patch over a prominent hole, and a small gap at the bottom above the perlite base where the condensation channels down. I think it's big enough not to need any FAE with the outside so long as I peek in once a week, and so long as there is a good internal draft, provided by the impeller humidifier.

What works for your set-up.
Doesn't always work for others.
Because, set-up's differ in size & design.

Sometimes a coolmist alone will do the job.
Sometimes, not.
It just depends on the individual set-up variables.
