I really like the sunbeam cool mist. The mist comes out of a little spout on the top, the spout pulls right of and leaves a nice flat surface to work with.
 I found this PVC thing at either Lowe's or home depot, the top slides in and out and allows it to be removed easily from the PVC that connects to the green house.
  The only draw back is that water needs to be added through the bottom of the blue part of the unit. Unless you drill your own hole in the top.

One important thing to keep in mind, any modifications to the humidifier will make it impossible to return to the store, and I've never seen one in 'our' service survive the 2 year warranty. I simply place the unmodified humidifier on a shelf in the greenhouse and it works great. One minute on, six minutes off gives 90% with no drips or other flooding. An alternative to modifying with pipes if you want a cool mist for air exchange is to cut a hole in your greenouse or martha the exact size for the outlet half the humidifier to stick inside the greenhouse, while the other half of the humidifier with the intake, stays on the outside. Get creative, because within a few months to a year, they fail. Keep it where you'll be able to go back and get a new one on them. Save your receipt. RR

For making holes in the hard plastic of a vick's cool mist, start with the smallest drill bit you can and work your way up. then kind of carve around the circle like you would a pumpkin. be sure to take your time. no rush. make sense?

I hate vicks. I've had problems with them leacking out the side. I like Duracraft brand. Fairly heavy duty, and can hold enough water to last for 4 days on high.

Why not just use the tool they use to cut the holes in doors. they make either a drill bit looking one where the at the tip is a sharp point then flares out to the size you need(5/8, 3/4, or what ever size) then goes back down into the shaft of the bit other wise the other tool is just a round disk like with saw blade teeth on it. If you ever seen hippiechicks post of her green house she has pictures of the tools if not just PM her and ask for the picture. I'm sure she'll be more then generous to give you the picture

Whatever you decide, I highly recommend checking out the thrift/resale shops in your area. I picked up two nice Vicks coolmists for only $2 a piece today, and that was at the first shop I checked!
