Hey all so I just got my starter system set up, waiting on a second nozzle assembly. Now I don't have a zip drip since I have enclosure drainage but noticed in testing the spray there are full water beads dripping from included nozzle. Is this an issue/bad nozzle/install or just a standard result?
Mistking Issue?

I don't have a mistking so held off hoping a mistking owner would answer.
What I can say is that mine drips a little after running. Whilst the pump has switched off, the water already in the pipes is still under some pressure. It will drip until the pressure equalises. It doesn't drip all the time, only this period after the pump shuts off.

Without the zip-drip it will have a few drops each time. I have the zip-drip and there is almost never any dripping after it shuts off. Not sure if there is any real benefit other than that, but I have no complaints.
I also have a Mistking with Zip drip and love it. Like @Decadancin I also have no dripping once the pump stops. I don’t believe the angle of the nozzles matter it’s probably just whatever water is still left in the lines and after that it should stop because I can’t see how you would get water moving through the pump and into your lines if it’s off.
I actually like them angled a bit so the spray doesn't go up towards the lighting. Unless Raistlin (or previously Zaphod) decides to rearrange things for me

Yeah that is the other reason why I angle them. I sprayed my quad down the first time it went off after install lol.I actually like them angled a bit so the spray doesn't go up towards the lighting. Unless Raistlin (or previously Zaphod) decides to rearrange things for me
Nope should not drip while misting. Try the angle down and see if it stops that. How long have you had it up and running and what kind of water are you using?
It's brand new, it arrived Thursday and I set it up that evening. The resevoir has distilled water.
So tried changing angle that didn't fix it but did clearly show the drip was not coming from the nozzle hole but from what looks like a spot that is a wrench tightening spot. Tried tightening that but it appears to be solely cosmetic. Suspecting that there must be a verrrrry tiny hole or gap in the plastic. I have a second nozzle coming tomorrow instead of adding it I will swap them and see if there is a difference, seems like a manufacture defect tho.
Sounds like it because there should not be water coming out anywhere but the nozzle head.
Yep new nozzle works fine and after removing the original I found a gap that I can just get the edge of my fingernail into where it should be flush. It looks like it could be tightened by a wrench but it can't so I have contacted Jungle Hobbies to see if they will replace the faulty part even though their warranty specifically excludes the nozzles.
