Humidifier for room

What do you guys recommend - cool mist or ultrasonic? It's not for a Martha, just my room since RH is very low. I was reading up on them, and I like the idea of how the wick humidifiers kinda self regulate themselves, based on the RH in the room - but don't you have to change the filters frequently, and they're noisy? Makes me think about the ultrasonic. Opinions?

I just started up a cool mist in my growing area. It brought my RH up to close to 45% but I still seem to have to mist my shotgun style FC several times a day.
I ran this humidifier last year in my bedroom and only needed to change the filter once. As far as noise is concerned it runs pretty quiet.

This is a reply to a post that WAS here, but is now deleted, lol.
I don't have an FC - I have Mycobags. It's getting very cold in my area and RH is in the low 20's. Where my bags are, it's a little warmer, so that's like 15%, which is nuts. Most people here say to run a humidifier just for comfort, but I also wanna make sure my bags aren't losing crazy moisture. SO I just want 1 that's good, not crazy loud, and possibly doesn't need filters I have to buy all the time, although if I have to I will. I'm looking to spend no more than $50. I know they have some for $25, but I bet they suck.

Really, even RH below 20? If so, nice.
I mean, I haven't seen anything to make me worry - bags are still covered in condensation. Once I see some shrooms pop up I'll be relieved.

you dont have to worry. bags are sealed for the most part from the outside world and the filter patch dont allow moisture thru either way, so even if they were in a room of 100% Rh it wouldnt affect the bags

FYI linens and things are going bust so they are selling things at huge discounts. I saw a humidifier for a big room going for 1/2 off, which came to $50. They are the kind with the fan blowing air out the top, if that makes sense?

Fucked if i know... I dont have a hygrometer, but with my local area and the humidity here id say its probably slightly drier in the house than outside. somewhere around a good 10% Rh

Wick types harbour mold and bacterias... also they never get above around 40% and thats totally defendant on temperatures

Reading about the shit is kinda crazy, just how important temperature is. Where I'm at it's like 20 deg. @ 60% RH. But when that air is heated to 70 deg, even tho the same amt. of moisture is there, the RH is only like 10-15%. That's what's killing my RH.

bubblers at best will raise the room 1% ionic misters will raise the Rh at the floor to 100% and whatever it is now at the ceiling. Ionic/ultrasonic foggers are expensive and break down quickly and easily
20 gallons of water seems like a huge bacterial contamination asking to happen and begging to be released
best bet... forget that idea
