I am in the market for a digital seconds timer, because the timer I currently have only has 1-minute increments. I was going to go with the Mistking digital seconds timer, but I've read so many times that the Mistking SYSTEM is great, but the Mistking TIMER is horrible, and it fails ALOT, and that is why they came out with a new design for it (which, sadly, they say can only be used with a Mistking System, which I do not own). Anyways....
I'm sure we are all aware of the Mistking watering/misting system that is out that I'm referring to. Millions of people use it, and recommend it as the best system there is on the market.
I came across this other misting system the other day, called CLIMIST, made by Coastal Exotics Inc, while searching for a Mistking timer alternative....

And here is their timer that led me to their website...

Looks exactly like the Mistking timer:
http://www.lllreptile.com/products/26821-mistking-seconds-digital-timer
I mean, both of them look 99.9% identical, but the Climist timer states that "This is the highest quality most versatile timer available in the USA for anything from auto misting systems, lighting, to hydroponic use."
So if it's the highest quality, but LOOKS like a Mistking timer, does that mean it PERFORMS better than a Mistking timer, regardless of looks? Or does that mean it's the same thing, and it's gonna fail?
Has anyone ever used that Climist system, or even heard of it? I'm pretty sure it's a fairly new unit/company this is on the market because I've not really found too much about it online.... I was wondering how it matches up to the Mistking if anybody knows? On the Climist website, it states that the Climist misting system is "Capable of producing the best mist output and quietest operation in the industry" and is also "backed by Coastal Exotics Inc 100% satiation guarantee under proper use and installation!"
Anyone ever used it though or know anyone who has/does? Please don't just say "Mistking is better" because that is the best one we KNOW of... I wanna hear thoughts and ideas from people who may know how the Climist performs.

Or any opinions on my timer dilemma would be great too. Should I get the Climist timer and pray it performs a little better than the Mistking timer (although I'm honestly pretty sure they are the same thing....), or is there a better option out there as far as ones that can do increments in seconds? My only other alternative is the Mistking timer but like I stated before, I've read lots and lots about how those tend to go out and that is why they changed the design.
I know the NEW Mistking timer SAYS it cannot be used on anything other than a Mistking.... but is that just a ploy so you are forced to buy their system if you want it? Or can you really hook it up to other systems and it be fine? I'd think you SHOULD be able to do that because all it really is, is a board that controls electrical current flow. SHOULD be able to operate on ANY unit, shouldn't it?
Anyone?
