Big Apple Mister?

[Ozzie2011]

Has anyone bought one of these or know if they are any good?http://www.bigappleherp.com/Big-Apple-Misting-System

you can create something similar yourself for alot less money than what they are charging. here is a link to what another forum member created on thier own

Im also looking into doing something like this myself within the next two weeks.

that bigapple setup is not worth the $110 they charge.

Javsto is absolutely right, none of those name brand misting systems are worth the money they ask for. You can do it yourself for a fraction of the price.

I would argue that the Mistking system is worth every penny! It is very well made and has made my life way easier.... But I use it to mist 9 cages for over an hour each day. If you only have one or two cages, it might be just as easy to mist by hand. That being said, I have also used the Big Apple system (re-branded by a local company) it isn't worth a dime! A cheap piston pump that has a duty cycle of 5 minutes on, 5 off... meaning the max time you can mist for is 5 minutes without the the thing over heating and becoming dangerous. Also if it runs dry for whatever reason it will start to melt down and become a real FIRE HAZARD! Mine melted the hoses attached to it and stunk so bad I was worried it might poison my chams! If you are considering purchasing a system stick with Mistking or the aqua-zamp mistclone. Cheers!

Thank you very much Jim! That is exactly the honest feedback I was looking for
