where the hell do you find a timer that has minute increments? meaning, it can turn on for like 3 minutes or so every hour. ive heard people say they have their cool mists on a timer like this when inside the martha.

You're thinking of using this kind of timer on an ultrasonic, not a coolmist. Coolmists are generaly used 24/7. Ultrasonics run on cycles like that.

Hi! I would like to reanimate this topic, if you dont mind, as I still have questions.
So, if I got it right the way you program this kind of timer is you set ON time (meaning the time when a timer turns off whatever devise is plugged into it) at a particular time (say 2 pm) on a particular day (say, Monday) and then you set OFF time. And you can set such ON-OFF cycles 14 times a day. (say, once for 2 pm, then 3 pm and so on).
My question is how could I set it ON for 10 mins and OFF for next 50 mins for 24/7? I dont get cause it does ask me to choose time and day. If it had 24 on/off settings a day, it could be possible (pain in the back, but possible).
Would appreciate any insight.
Thank you!
