Same sort of fogger I used, except I used a larger humidifier I bought from Walgreens.

My reptifogger is like a month or so old and already I have to mess with it to make it stop 'buzzing ' and actually blow the fog through the damn tube. Hoping it won't die or that I can at least fix it if it does...

I do believe it's the fan because when it buzzes no fog comes out even though it is building up fog inside. So I wonder if I can modify that fan somehow to correct the problem. . .

I feel like particles get sucked into the fan maybe from the base vents and make it so it can't spin properly...so perhsps if I can clear it from debris and oil it it will run more smoothly.

I think I will look inside and inspect the parts, clean them up, and perhaps elevate the unit to prevent so much 'floor debris ' from getting into the vents. If this stops the problem maybe others will benefit from my findings :) let's hope

Zoo Med makes it. Mine is starting to make its death gurgles after about 6 mos.

I will post a pic asap of Gwangis fogger output that is well over the bedding. He buries everything.

I have the same humidifier. You can actually get some PVC pieces that fit perfectly in the hole to route into the cage.

Also, use a Smart Water 1L bottle. Way above recommended size, but mines but running 6 months and not a single leak from it.

I opened mine up and didn't even find anything 'wrong ' or clogged... ugh. There's more than one fan...
I could only get to the one that apparently *wasn't * buzzing. Grrrr.

Ok I don't know if this has any bearing on anything but the performance of my reptifogger seems to have 'improved ' since I set it up into niles' big enclosure. Before I had it on the floor then tube going up and then arched down through the screen top of his breeder tank. Now he is in the 6x3x3...so I have the unit placed on top of the enclosure, with the tube extended full length, and through a hole in the back wall of the enclosure. I'll post a pic below. But it only buzzed a bit then it was fine. Now today there was no buzzing at all. (?) Strange. And last night I left it on all night so it ran out of water and shut off. This morning I turned the knob to off, refilled and turned back on. No problems at all! Twilight zone or...?haha ;p

This is hose through hole inside ( under zero's butt) [attachment=6613] and this is the unit on top of the enclosure [attachment=6614]
