I prefer the top fill ones... Like this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07V39ZYJB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_vplXDb9GMSZDZ

Sorry to hijack but does anyone have any recommendations for just room humidifiers? I heard they work just as well and they're much cheaper

I have this one https://www.amazon.com/Crane-Humidifier-Ultrasonic-Humidifiers-Filter-Free/dp/B0046A6WJI and got I believe a 1/2 tubing that shoves down perfectly into the top spout. Its got a large tank so you don't have to fill it very often. It does a decent job with fogging, not as high an output as a traditional reptile fogger. But it does the trick for now. @saradoggy10

Yeah that’s what I have now. It holds something like 40oz. I think it was $49 at Target. They do but you may have to figure out how to attach tubing if you want to direct the fog. Make sure to get the kind that can run dry or auto shutoff if you are going to use any kind of automated system. There are some good ideas on youtube
Cheaper but not always in the end... You have to retrofit them to the enclosures

True sometimes it's better just to buy a product for what it's made for that comes with all the necessary bits and pieces lol

IF you are going to use something like that, look on facebook market place or the like, I see them for $20 to $25 all the time
I use this.

6 foot of 1 inch pipe and 2 elbows.
Then attach 1 inch pipe taped with electrical tape to snug, the hole is a little bigger then 1 inch.
You get a 4l liter fogger with warning light. Two settings low and high. You also can hook it to a timer and it will turn on and off with the timer because the on off on the fogger is manual.

Cool deal. 1/2 is standard, but I have used 3/4 as well.

This is the one I have been using for about 8 mo and no problems. Easy to fill and multiple settings for time and duration. I feel it is a good product with great customer support. Might add it also has low water automatic shut off.This will be the one I try when mine goes out.

The crane or the top filled?
I love everything about the one I use except the timer sucks... I have to set it every night and it will not hook up to a secondary timer. So yeah when it dies this one is the one I want to try lol

This is the one I use. I have it plugged into an outlet timer that is on from 8pm to 8am and then set the fogger up to fog for 30 min, and off for 30 min during that time. It is on the same shelf as my cage, and then my water reservoir for my misting system is on a shelf next to the shelf structure my cage is on (sits a few inches higher than the fogger). I put a T with a valve off the reservoir and then ran tube from that to the top of the humidifier and secure it with a zip tie. Every 4 days I turn on the valve and it takes about 10 min to fill up, turn off the valve. My 5 gal reservoir lasts my misting system and fogger nearly 2 weeks.
