COOSPIDER Reptile Fogger Mister with Extended Tube, 3.8 L, automatic, quiet

This reptile fogger holds 3.8 L of water and measures 19.1 x 19.1 x 31.8 cm (7.5 x 7.5 x 12.5 in), so it takes up a small square of floor or shelf space. The maker recommends it for single-compartment terrariums of 10 to 40 gallons. A refill runs up to 26 hours at the medium misting level, and the hose stretches from 1.5 to 6.3 feet so the mist can be aimed into the tank.

What comes in the box

• The fogger body, built from plastic and metal in black.
• An extended water tube that adjusts from 1.5 to 6.3 feet.
• Two suction cups for fixing the water tube in place.
• A foot for the base of the unit.

Turning the fogger on and running it

The switch sits on the back of the unit and has to be turned on before use. A rotary button on the front sets the cold mist output and adjusts the amount of mist produced. The fogger works continuously while it runs. If the tank runs dry, the indicator light turns from green to red and the unit stops on its own.

While the humidifier is running, keep the device where it is and wait until it is off before adding water.

Does it suit your terrarium?

Check the tank volume first: the maker recommends this fogger for single-compartment terrariums of 10 to 40 gallons. A divided or multi-section enclosure falls outside that description. Measure the footprint where the unit will stand, since the body is 19.1 x 19.1 cm at the base, and check that the 1.5 to 6.3 feet of hose reaches from that spot to the tank opening. The unit weighs 1.05 kg (2.31 lb).

Consider what the fogger does not do before buying. It has no timer and no humidity monitoring, and the knob controls only how much mist comes out, not when it comes out. If the schedule or the humidity reading has to be set on the device itself, this unit does not offer that.

Mist output, runtime and noise

At the maximum misting level the fogger uses 380 ml per hour, which empties a full 3.8 L refill in 10 hours. Turned down to the medium level, one refill lasts up to 26 hours. The difference between the two figures is the output setting chosen on the front knob.

Ultrasonic atomization produces a fine mist and even humidification without water collecting, according to the maker. The noise level stays below 35 dB, and the 3.8 L tank can be lifted out for refilling.
