Hi guys, i'm looking into investing in a misting machine or dripper. what does eveyone recommend? which is better for my Carletto?
 
Good choice Carletto.

I have the little dripper and it works great. You could easily make your own. They are pretty cheap though, like 10 bucks so i figure save yourself some time and just buy one. I dont think it would save you enough money to take the time to make one. IMO
 
i tried making my own but i wasn't very successful i found that after a minute or so it would just stop dripping.
 
Making one is EZ. I have a fools proof one. I'll make a thread later with pix. But it works out if your have quite a few Chams.

It cost me nothing since it was made from some left over fishtank supplies. But i could literally make about 10 units for $10.

Only hard part was finding a good container. But since you will be using silicone or glue to seal the valve water tight, you can use a round surface container. The only difference with the commercial ones is they use a rubber grommet and a nut to seal the valve.

This is just for you to view an image. But Petland sells these valves in a pack of 5 for like $1.99

and some silicone or hotglue.

I only use the mister, but I mist for 45 minutes a day, so mine gets lots of water. I also have a hell of a drainage system though lol

But if you're going to mist very little then a dripper is an excellent idea.
