Is the MistKing Starter Worth it?

[Thatwizard420]

I found a brand new Unboxed starter mistking for $130

is it worth it?

Can it run 3 tanks?

Would I have to buy more parts for it?

Thanks

The starter can run up to 10 nozzles and IMO is absolutely worth it. You do need to buy additional connectors depending on how your running it though.

I order my additional parts through josh's frogs https://www.joshsfrogs.com/misting/mistking-misting-system-parts.html

I just looked at their site, and prices have increased from $150 to $180 for the starter kit, so I'd jump on $130. That's what we got it for (incl. shipping) late last year.

It only comes with one nozzle. Recommendations for 24 x 24 x 48 enclosures are 2 nozzles per, so you'll likely need 5 more. Exactly which ones and extras will depend on how you configure them (serial, parallel, single or double nozzles, etc.) Same goes for extra tubing, nozzle mounts (wedges), tubing clips, etc.

If you are trying to get everything in one order, I'd suggest working all this out ahead of time with schematics. If you don't mind getting the unit and becoming familiar with it, and then figuring out what else you'll need and putting in an order for extras, that works too.

I'm not the one to ask on that. A quick cursory search indicates some people use 2 nozzles per, while others use one—center mounted to the top of the enclosure.

Yes! Currently running three enclosures. Like the above comments you do have to buy extra parts but totally worth it.

Soo I managed to get it for $90
I think I got it at good price. She had it for $150
then $130
then $100
I offer $85, she said 90

It's not the easiest to set up.

will it efficiently, without losing too much pressure run enclosures that are far away? assuming I have all the tubing/hoses

Which version, 4 or 5?

It's not the easiest to set up.

I didn't find the timer terribly intuitive, but there are several good videos on YT that may help.

What's "far away"? It shouldn't have any trouble if all are on the same/adjacent walls in an avg. size room. If farther than that, IDK.

I expect you'll find out.
