I'm in a bind, I have the choice of getting an ultrasonic humidifier, or just a regular coolmist humidifier, and I can only get 1...Which would give me better results? the regular one has a catch...it's a hello kitty humidifier..(PLEASE Don't laugh!!!) I know it's soo gay, but it's only $15 and the ultra sonic is $20...I can't afford to buy them both right now, but I can get one..Which one should I get? The hello kitty one has two exhaust holes (both the ears), and the ultrasonic obviously has 1..I've read that the ultrasonics are only supposed to run for a brief bit, but the cool mists can run all the time..? IDK, what would you do? would the kitty be a bitch to mod?

better results for what. lol
a coolmist moves air.
a ultrasonic humidifies the air.
if you search for jokefox's humidifier tek.
he puts a US in a coolmist reservoir so the US is humidifying the air that the coolmist is pushing.

A ultrasonic is nice if you are porting into a large grow chamber such as a "Martha" were it can then hit a fan and be dispersed. You should not count on your humidifier to be the source of FAE. Good luck.

If you can only afford one of the two then you should absolutely get the cool mist. However, the coolmist that you're interested in is not the right type. You need to buy one with an impeller motor, otherwise it won't get the job done. Vicks makes a lot of different types of cool mists, but only one of them has the impeller. There are other off-brand coolmists by company's like cvs or walgreens that have impellers, check their stores.

took me less than 5 minutes.
but i guess im good at trawling through the forum now.
its about using the advanced search engine to find posts just from jokefox, with the word humidifier in it.
click on some posts, check his signature, see if its in there. finally i stumbled upon http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/13634527#13634527 this post.
where he himself links to it.
search engine 101.

Wow, too bad jokey is banned otherwise I would have to give him some shit for that piss-poor cool mist mod. Looks like a ten year old got a hold of it. For one thing, he should have just connected a tube to the original output instead of drilling a hole in the unit. And placing a filter in front of the air intake will help reduce particulate and dust entering the unit.

OK, So i finally went out and bought a cool mist today. I got it from goodwill for $20 (Pretty pricey for goodwill, Just shows how shitty our economy is). But anyway, the ONLY reason I bought it was because it said "This unit uses cool mist/impeller technology" So when I saw "impeller" I was like "cool, I'm buyin it"
So I ride home all happy cuz I finally have everything I need for my grow pretty much. So, of course the 1 thing I do when I get home is hook it up. It had a brand new filter so I was also glad about that. But then I got to searching the forums for my brand "Sunbeam", and I find everywhere, that the ones with the "wick style" filters should be avoided at all cost. Well WTF!!! This shit is a wick filter cool mist, which IMO, isn't a "mist" anything, because it doesn't even make mist!!! That's some st8 up BULLSHIT false advertising!!!
It clearly says "Impeller" on the box. Well am I blind? Or is there No fucking impeller in this machine? Now, i dont really know what an "impeller" is, but I know what a fan is, and I know what a filter is, and thats the only 2 things that are in the whole machine!!!
I could have made the same fuckin thing by putting a wet towel on the back of a fan. That's all it is...There's no fuckin technology in that shit. My can opener has more technology that this fuckin thing!!! At least it can open bottles, AND open cans!! I mean FUCK!!!
So I'm takin this bullshit back tomorrow if you guys say it won't work. I can buy a REAL one for $20 probably. I'm soo fuckin mad I can't see str8!!! I bet that's why the last fucker gave it away. He was like "Fuck this shit!!! my shrooms are dryin up!!!" I mean the "technology" as they call it is SOO fuckin simple I couldn't believe it.
I just wish I knew what I was lookin for. Had I known what I know now, I could have just looked at it and known that it was the wrong one. But when I saw "impeller" on the box, I thought I was golden. guess not. Here's a pic. You guys tell me what you think...
So should I take the fuckin thing back? Or will it do?

I also bought a Badass digital scale from there too. it can weigh up to 11 pounds and has tons of functions, as well as a 6'' wide, circular glass surface, so you could dump an OZ of bud on it and it would fit every bit, and that's if it was broken up buds. You could fit a QP on it if it was BIG compressed buds.
But anyway, the fuckin thing doesn't weigh right, so I'm gonna have to take it back too.. It's crazy cuz out of the 30 diferent thing the scale does, It don't have a calibration option...? So fuck it.Fuckin goodwill man, I'll tell ya, they are really fuckin up these days. they used to have some good shit for the low low...I got a PS2 like 6 years ago there for $10, and it was the newer flat ones. But anyways, FUCK GOODWILL!!!

LOL. Oh man I am loving your sense of humor throughout that whole read. I'm sorry for your wasted goodwill trip. That does indeed look like your typical "bitch ass humidifier". Haha. I'd take it back. Have you checked all of the pharmaceutical stores in your area? In the Southwest we have places like CVS and Walgreens, they are usually stocked with multiple types of coolmists. If they don't have the right type you can go to the front and request them to check nearby stores for the impeller coolmist. Hope that helps.
Edit- I just realized that I basically have already said the above. Oops.

Well I'm glad you think so...This faggot in the psychedelic experience forum was soo "appalled" at my sense of humor, he not only gave me 5 bad shrooms, but this faggot actually put my name and a post I made in his signature!!! Is that not the most homo shit ever? I'm sorry but I would die before I idolized another man like that, especially one I didn't know. Am i wrong for thinking that shit is just soo fuckin gay?
