Dripping Habba Mist

[Wolfepack]

Hey, all.
Don't really know for sure if this is the right place to post this, but I have been dealing with a ridiculously annoying dripping habba mist for a few weeks now. I have adjusted pretty much everything I possibly can, but for some reason the darn thing won't quit dripping after a spray.. and not like a couple drops. It's a continuous drip.. it was so bad the other day that the bottom filled up and started to overflow on the stand!! That's a big no no. There are no amount of paper towels that would handle that craziness. Just wanted to know if anyone else had this issue or any suggestions on how to fix it. I'd really hate to have to buy a new one.
Thanks!

My guess is it has probably broke on you. How old is it? I've heard that you can send them off and get them fixed if they're not too old, but my advice is to just get rid of it and buy a Mist King. I had a Habba Mist and it honestly didn't even last me a day. I think it sprayed once and crapped out. Mine had the same problem, but it leaked out of the bottom uncontrollably. Not worth it when you can buy a Mist King for $100

Dont buy a new one call the manufacturer and demand a new one. If not buy a different brand! everyone seems to love mistking.

While it's unfortunate that you are having this issue, i think it also reveals that you need to create a drainage system. Even if you get a top notch system (ie Mist King), depending on the duration of mist sessions, you're going to have a LOT of water on the bottom of your enclosure. To ensure it dries, and that you don't have it flood, you need drainage. Unless you have the luxury of being home all day and are able to wipe up the water with towels... I recommend using a vanity (sink with cabinet). Just set the enclosure directly ontop of the vanity, drill some holes in the middle/bottom of the enclosure, then the water will drain into the sink, down the drain, and into a bucket that you can place in the cabinet (so you won't even have to see the bucket). You can also have your bucket of distilled water that supplies your misting system in that cabinet. That's the setup I have.

It's fairly new. I got the whole set up in March/April-ish.
