What is everyone’s GOTO spray bottle

So what’s everyone’s favorite water mister?? I bought a few spray bottles in the beginning and they’re pretty good quality but I feel like the mist is just way too wide to where it’s just spraying the sides of the shoe boxes unless I get it close at which point I’m pooling water on my substrate surface. I have a small mister that is awesome, it came with an oyster grow kit I bought from north spore a few months back. I feel the spray pattern is perfect but it is way too small of a vile. I have to refill it to mist 4 shoeboxes.
So I’m looking for what you guys have used and found to be really useful. I know there has to be a few popular options out there. Thank you everyone

Without question my two favorite water bottles are:
For use in conjunction with a SAB, I use 2 of these. One with Soapy water and one with ISO70%. Its super fine mist makes it easy to cover the inside of my SAB, but it excels at quickly and easily keeping my gloves wet during sterile work. I just got an extra one for ISO70% for occasional hand/tool sprayings and it performs superbly.
For Tubs I use this. It's great for keeping several tubs at once. I've been using it for over 2 years with no real damage to speak of.
Bonus: 16" examination gloves make SAB as easy as possible. When I was a noob I kept getting contams in agar plates and eventually figured out that it was my wrists that were carrying the contams into my SAB and sprinkling them on everything. Now, with the long gloves, I just spray my arms down and do my work with ease.

Thanks for the response, the first looks about what I’m looking for. The second one looks mighty, how is the pattern on that one and do you think it may be too much for a shoebox?

Yeah I had no idea there was such a wide range of mist until I got into cult. I figured a spray bottle was a spray bottle.
For months I used one that had a really heavy spray but when it broke I happened to get a new one that did super fine mist. It made a huge difference the old one was like spraying the sub with a hose compared to the clouds of water the new one does.
I actually got the one I use now in the cleaning aisle at a neighborhood Walmart. It’s like ten inches tall and white with a blue top.

Good questions.
The pattern on the big one has no holes so its just a big wide spray. It can be difficult with species that respond poorly to moisture on the cap.
If you are only doing shoeboxes then I would highly recommend the small green ones. With these fine misters it's very easy to do the "spray up and let the mist fall on the substrate" tech, easily achieving a very even coverage of droplets. The second bonus is that the droplets are so small that they evaporate quickly, which makes pinning even easier.

I love my little 200ml Kiloline plus from Amazon. Super fine spray, and small enough to get in the corners without soaking the walls or the center of the sub.
