Bare with me this is my first post as I'm about to build my first vivarium. Buying a fogger for $60 just didnt sound good to me, knowing its a basic technology that could easily be duplicated for cheaper. I cant take credit for this 100% because thanks to alienshroom1 on youtube I was able to find the perfect humidifier for this build.

Materials:
-Walgreen's personal humidifier ($24)
-PVC pipe connections ($2)
-Rubber tubing ($4)

works great!

My soon to be skull fogger in my vivarium....

Not the best light to be testing it, and on the video doesnt show well but in personal it works awesome!

Interesting!

Is the fog/mist cool or warm as it emerges from the tube? Also, how "foggy" will it make the terr? In the pics it looks like it is dissipating very quickly.

Not sure about the air coming out, seemed room temp. In the example I'm in a big room and im also blowing on it so that it could be seen. In a tank it is very thick, I also had it on MAX so it was coming out fast

Target

afety 1st Ultrasonic 360 Degree Humidifier

This is super easy to set up. The vents on top come off and it has a nice round opening.

ya that one looks good too, the one I have, the head piece comes off and has a perfect round hole as well.

Just finished mine tonight. fills up my 20 vert nicely. I hooked the unit up to a timer and it comes on twice an hour in 15 minute intervals.
