you can make yoursrlf a misting system like "mist system" for almost half the price
things you need
Diaphragm pump (ebay or look around other places)
Tubing and nozzle (you can buy once you have your pump, i took the pump with me to home depot and have the guy there help me get the correct tubing L joints, T joints etc, the only thing i bought from our canadian version of mist king was nozzle, cuz they do have good non drip nozzle.....but yeah thats pretty much it )

ended up costing me between $80-$90, cheapest misting system with shipping ive seen is $150 or so. Since this was my first DIY misting sytem it cost me a lil bit more than what i can do it for now.

i dont think many tanks out there are tempard. i mean if it breaks its a mess its like hitting the selfdestruct butten. anything in side will be out side the tank. i see a misting system on bigapplepets or something. that was fairly cheap around 109. but im thinking about doing my own like the person above me. hardest part is finding that pump.

I've seen one that mists UP, that is made for moss (I think that was it) farms, it makes a mist so fine it looks like fog. When I get my final enclosure built for my CWD I'm getting one of those. I think it ran less than 100 bucks, but it's been a while since I looked at it.
