Good thread I'm in the market for one as well for my drying tent. I was just gonna buy one but then I read you need a certain type. One that automatically turns on with a timer? I don't know how you would know that without buying it.

Check out the Inkbird reptile fogger - it’s awesome for the price. Been running mine for over a year now and no issues. It can be ran from outside a grow space, there’s a hose that comes with it. The nice thing about it is that it dumps a good amount of humidity on demand, also cheap for what you get

Yes I bought a cheap one and it was only push button on I guess my wife has a new humidifier so she can put her smelly crap in it

That's the one I've been looking at

Make sure whatever is plugged into the ink bird has a switch dial, and not a button.

I use the inkbird myself, and noticed if it’s a digital button, it won’t power back on (as it needs to manually be turned on)
If it has an analog switch, I leave it in the “on” position, and it always powers back on.
it really depends on what you’re using with the inkbird I find

What do you use for water, RO, distilled?

For the record, it's much better to go with an evaporative humidifier rather than the ultrasonic variety because ultrasonic humidifiers can eventually create several mineral deposit issues like clogging in the mechanics of the unit, chalky whiteness that clogs carbon filters, dulling of the reflective material on your walls, clogging the stomata on your plants' leaves etc. This might be avoided by using nothing but distilled water which might be a PITA for some. Anyway, I just thought I'd throw that out there.

This is 100% true as I run well water at 200ppm through mine - the thing doesn’t run all the time, so it doesn’t get terrible. But I do need to wipe my equipment down every month or so. I have a pre-filter on my carbon filter for exactly this reason. Really good tip/info

Rain water or water from a dehumidifier can be used too.

Aircare makes a large evap console model I use plus an Inkbird to control it. Large rez on it, etc.

I went to Menards and other places to get a link for you, but it looks like they've gone and fucked around with the model and gave it newer 'controls'. I specifically picked it because it was a simple analog off/low/med/high switch with analog humidity control. I just sat it to max and let controller do its job. Now I see a digital display.... that's a bad omen. Hopefully just for humidity.

If I knew they were going to change the model, I would have probably bought a couple spares. Otherwise you have to step into the commercial stuff.
