Yes, those solder station use an air pumps are not unlike an aquarium air pump. Maybe that is enough, all you need is enough air to cary the mist of atomized droplets.
Another place to look is "air brush" pumps. These are designed to power tiny paint guns and to run all day long. They are usually design to by very quiet. I have an rather high-end airbrush pump and I can see it is actually a very small refrigerator pump fitted to a 1 gallon size tank. It is dead silent. Good 'fridge pumps will run "forever". But I've surprised you don''t have a shop compressor. A 1/4" line from the big tank should work. Maybe you need a regulator to bring it down. My dad built a few misters using brass tube. All you need is a "T" that alto serves as a ventori Make one with a small block of aluminum and drill from three side and press fit the tube The down pointing left sucks liquid from a cup. Put a small diameter drill hole just above the vertical leg. You don't need much suction because you can use a plastic line to go to the cup and raise the cup until it is nearly level with the "Tee". A couple inches of "lift" it enough Lacking an airbrush compressor, buy the smaller one from harbor freight.
