Example: Mist Lamp

I want just the portion that actually creates the mist for a project of mine. Any idea what to find it as or where to find it specifically?

I have been searching around on ebay and found one, but it's $35, plus $14 shipping, at which point it would be cheaper to buy entire lamps or whatever and pull the part from it.

What do you want to do? I used and modified an ultrasonic humidifier for the Dart frog exhibit at the Aquarium I used to work at in Denver. Bought it at Walgreens for $30 IIRC.

I'm building a small "crate", about 1 foot by 1 foot, and 1 inches tall, that will have a few plants in the middle. Around it, I want water and something to create a mist.

I guess I could grab one from a humidifier, just don't like the idea of spending $30 on a whole humidifier when all I need is that one part.

The humidifier will work perfectly for what you want. Just use some PVC and reduce it down to garden hose size, and then do whatever creative thing from there.

I don't think you're going get around paying atleast $30.....the "vibrator" part alone is usually as expensive at other stores.
