Default Drip system on mist system?

Looking for opinions on putting pressure compensating drip nozzles on the same system as my misting system. I have a ProMist PMP-70 and it is running 14 nozzles right now and I want to add 7 1 gph pressure compensating drippers. Thoughts?
Thanks,
Jeff

What pump are you running? That will tell you if you can do it or not. If the pump can do it, then I can't think of a reason it wouldn't work. 1 gal / hr (.469 floz / min) is less than the low flow (red) Tefen nozzles (.5 floz / min)

1 gal/min would be a constant stream. Ive got 1 gal/hour.
