===================
I love those tabletop "misters" they're selling in the
stores around here for $39 and up. The wisps of vapor are
so relaxing to watch. Because of the humidity from all the
tropical plants and aquariums, I haven't bought one.

Some years back, I had bought a couple of the misters that
screwed onto the
end of a garden hose. Misting over the pond area, under the
sunscreen, here
in LA, on a really hot day, reduced the temp nicely. Made
sitting there with a brewski, watching the fish, quite
comfortable.
=================
The summer humidity here is such that something like that
would probably make us more uncomfortable. The small dish
misters for indoors would be fine for someone in a desert
climate. Or for someone with excessively dry air in their
homes in winter. They sure are pretty to look at. :-)


But do they get minerals in the air and put a white film on
everything?
=========================
I would imagine if you have minerals in your water they will settle out
around the mister. An alternative would be to use distilled water.
