Anyone use the Repti-Fogger?

[psychedelicwonders]

I've seen this little unit here on the board, and it seems like the direction I am wanting to head to.

I realize the fogger does help with humidity, a Mist king will be better, I will have both because I am looking for the fog for the effect first and foremost.

But what I like about this repti fogger is that it seems to concentrate the fog in a small area, where as these Vicks humidifiers seem to fog up the entire tank... not something I am looking to do.

i would like to have my water area have really thick fog from time to time through out the day, not my entire tank.

So if I am looking for this kind of small, concentrated effect for one particular area, is this the product I am looking for?

I like this model because it is outside of the tank and will not put the PDF in any harms way.

Any other suggestions?

remember, i would prefer for the entire tank to NOT fill up with fog.

NOT what I want it to look like:

YES: (this was a pic taken from another post where this Repti-Fogger was actually in use)

I saw it a show a couple weeks back. It worked GREAT, there were I think 5 different levels you could choose depending on how much fog you want. Depending on the level will also dictate how quickly you go through the water. A couple companies also had it set up that it would go off as needed for humidity. I also thought it was great because of the diversity frogs, chameleons, plants. A much better buy than ultrasonic fogger.

Well technically this is an ultra-sonic fogger isnt it?

Its just outside the tank compared to the normal ones that are inside? (am I correct with this?)

Also, Is it possible to extend the tube, or add a longer tube to it?

It may not work for me if the tube is only a foot or two long.

What about upgrading to a larger bottle so that you dont have to refill it all the time?

How big is the bottle? It looks tiny?

is this really the only thing of its kind on the market?

Please forgive the first post the Fogger I had was the exo terra fogger.

I'm not sure about adding tubing, I'm sure it wouldn't be that difficult to do. The thought was you can have the fogger placed on something else or on the top and manipulate the tube to go where you'd like, unlike an internal fogger. As far the ultasonic fogger I think because of the way its set up it takes all the possible issues that the internal fogger can have, to deep under water shorting out, extra cord...

The bottle is about the size of a 1 liter pop. The picture looks small but the unit as a whole is kinda bulky. It stands about a 11 inchs high and about 11 inchs long. As far as producing fog I have not seen anything like it that does the job and allows you to have control outside of just unplugging it or having it on a timer.

So wait, are you describing the Exo-Terra fogger or the Repti-Fogger in this post?

If you are talking about the repti-fogger, than a 1 liter bottle sounds like it will be plenty.

Thats alright if the unit is big and bulky, it is going inside the stand, hence why I need a longer feed tube.

I have previously owned a exo-terra fogger I was not pleased with it at all as others can second similar experiences.

"The Repti Fogger"
When I was a reptile show a couple weeks ago there were about 7 different companies using them (you could see it in action Tanks you couldn't even see in because of how much fog it was producing to just a little and everything in between)

The Repti Fogger Comes with a 1 Liter bottle

And lastly I'm sure you could add or replace the tubing with something similar in size but longer. To my knowledge there is not a longer tube offered by zoomed.

[psychedelicwonders]

Awesome, this sounds like the product I am looking for.

I really like how you can adjust the fog.

I'm sure I can modify it some how with plastic tubing to reach how far I need.

I'd be interested in seeing pics when you get everything up and running. In this day and age there are so many products out there that are just bla, I was truly impressed with a product which doesn't happen very often.

i bought the exo terra fogger a while ago, the one that sits in water and isnt too big. it shocks you which is why most people dont use it. so i made this plexi glass rectangular tube that the fogger fit in and drilled holes high enough up that water couldnt splash out but so that fog could escape easily. i also added screen to the top of the tube so frogs couldnt go in it or deposit tads in it, plus then you can add water easily. it works nice and all the fog stays on the bottom of the tank

I have attached the pick for my set up designed from my engineer hubby. Kin of hard to see but there is a fake tree in the corner of the tank with a hole the size of a small tube where the fog comes out. It is crucial that the fogger is set up outside the tank or you will burn frogs. We just bought the tupperware container and a 7.99 airpump (from petco) and ran the tubing.
Enjoy!
