You can turn the "cool air" off and it'll stop doing the water... But we use ours quite often on high and with "cool air" and it'll sometimes kinda spit at us if we're too close when it first starts going but nothing like you're describing. We also make sure the water is cold water and even put the ice pack in it... But maybe your home is too humid for the "cool air" action too considering it's basically using humidity to help make the air cool.

you have a problem. the water should drip down the material in the back. take it part (back panel} and make sure nothing foreign is in there. it is how you clean it anyway and you should get familiar with it.

I did not say it blew out hot air . I said it blew the air out the top which help circulate and keeps the air moving around the unit . This in turn helps the unit pull in more uncirculated air which removes more moisture .

Not to sound like captain obvious or anything but perhaps you are putting in to much water? I would play with the levels a bit. I fill it to just below the line and mine come out great every time. It takes some experimenting but is worth it once you get it down. Good luck

The version I purchased (a couple months ago) had the sprayer in the front, opposite the tail. So, the water sprays like a whale's blow hole would.

yes for some reason the air is coming out by the trigger and no air is coming out of the tip, anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

Mine has only filled up one time. I am currently not drawing air from outside, just exhausting to outside and it is working well.

Look at the bottom of the black cap that uses two air lines. The fluid is suppose to enter the container where there is sort of an exit pointing downwards which redirects the fluid to the small container. Make sure you use the short hose supplied so it wont splash while in vacuum. Make sure the container is standing upright and not at an angle. Otherwise you will suck up fluid and damage the gun.

I just push down on the side some for a few minutes. Once enough I the water I out I can then open the air plug and release the air. The water flows out thereafter!! Hope this helps.

Just be careful when you take the top off to refill. Water will drip out of the top. Otherwise when it is running, the mist is so fine it dissipates quickly. I have mine sitting directly on my wood desk. I just make sure to keep a paper towel handy when I refill.

It's more about how much air the compressor will put out per minute. You will have to stop fairly frequently to let your setup catch up if you are painting something that is large. I have/had a set of these guns. You can't use them straight out of the box. Totally take them apart and clean all the junk out of them and take the plastic gasket, that divides the nozzle from the paint chamber, and some 800 grit sandpaper and on a flat surface, lap the gasket flat (can't remember if it's the front or back side but you'll be able to tell which one should be smooth). Mine leaked air, very badly, into the paint chamber. Every time I squeezed the trigger, you could see bubbles percolating through the paint. Lapping that hard plastic gasket stopped that. Don't expect to be able to spray a candy with these guns. The pattern(s) on mine is/are too inconsistent. I ended up buying a different gun to shoot my base/clear. Matt

The answer by "brbrigs" is correct! I just received mine in the mail and set it up and there was no mist coming out. Apparently I filled my tank with too much water and it looked like the basin at the base was a huge pool of water. I dumped that out and poured a few cups of water out of the tank. I restarted the humidifier and there is a strong mist coming out now! Try that. I think it'll work.

Our has worked great.. I would contact the seller and send it back.. Are you using purifies water.. It's a small mist that comes out

Same thing happened to mine . . . took it apart and let it air out -- no success! I think there's a flaw in the design because it should be waterproof or not able to get water in it all . . . this thing is terrible!

If you are only doing it for a couple times...then ya it might still be a little dripping wet. But I actually have the spiket line open while spinning it so I can visually see the amount off water and that tells me how much more spinning to do. This thing is awesome for everything camping , when the electricity went out just recently. Use very very little water. Cold I suggest. Have fun!

I removed mine and gave it a blasting shower with the hose. It was a hot day, and it dried fast. Also, I made sure to -not- give those parts that seemed particularly electronic anything like a leisurely water bath. :) It continues to function flawlessly without a whimper over the incident. I'm just reporting what I did. Not meant for advice at all. And when I approach fans with the hose, I am always in acceptance that that I could bring an end to their healthy life. Yet I've done it for years, and have thus far got away with it. (Note- always on hot days, where they dry immediately.)

It's a cool mist. You definitely don't want it blowing right at you, as it will chill you. This is a "wicking" humidifier, because it has a wick / a.k.a. "filter" inside, that is soaked with water. The air passes through this wick, in order to pick up humidity.

Not surprised. Mine isn't producing much mist and I expect it will quit any day now. Unhappy with this purchase and not cheap. I would send it back or email the manufacturer.
