A cool mist vaporizer has a rapidly spinning disk that essentially "throws" a very fine mist into the air.
The better choice is an ultrasonic type. A small electronic device (ultrasonic transducer) vibrates the water at 25-40 kHz (kHz = 1000 times / sec) and forms a very fine mist. The reason I say it is better is because they sometimes come with a "warning" or disclaimer that only distilled water should be used because they also will pick up minerals in the water and can cause a film (mineral deposit) to form on nearby surfaces...exactly what we want! As has been mentioned before, they can be had from Walmart. I purchased mine (Sunbeam brand) for $40. I've had more success with a nebulizer. These are designed to disperse medicines (usually asthma?) directly into the lungs. In the US they require a doctor's prescription BUT I have purchased a used one from eBay for only $25.

Of course, you MUST ensure that the O2 or air compressor is regulated to a very low pressure (1-2 psi???)
