I like my habba mist. It's way better than a dripper and works fine for me and my chameleon. You can't view it or compare it to a "mister" because it's not. It's advanced drip system.

Or I suppose you could call it an automatic shower system. If you really look at it, there is no "mist" every few hours into the trees of Madagasgar where the chameleons are living. There may be some rain or morning dew....but a cloud of mist?
The object is to get humidity in the cage and moisture on the leaves. Humiditiy can be accomplished with a humidifier and water on the leaves with a sprayer or habba mist.

The Habba Mist is a good way to keep the humidity up, but don't rely on it to mist your cham adequatly. A chameleon needs to be misted at least a few minutes in a row for it to get what it needs out of the mist. I know with my male he wont start cleaning his eyes until about 4 minutes into the mist. The longest you can set a Habba mist for is 1 minute. I personally spray my chameleons by hand with a garden spray thing, and in one misting they get about three times as much water that the Habba mist holds (Once I save up some $ I will be investing in an automatic sprayer). I bought the Habba Mist a couple years back but my male was afraid of it and then I learned it wasn't an adequate water supply so now it is sitting in my closest with all my other impulse buys. I am not bashing on the Habba Mist, because I know some people that have them and the cham will actually run up to it and drink once it turns on. But I think they advertise it as being the sole water source for the animals and IMHO it isn't sufficient for a chameleons needs. But that is just my 2 cents, not that it is worth much

O yah i agree with you, and i don't think it should be the sole source of water. I think it's nice because i got to school and work fulltime so i'm not home all the time to mist my cham. I mist them with a bottle everday 3-4 times a day and have a dripper too so they get PLENTY of water and humidity.
