Carpe Diem Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Cool mist or not cool mist? Which would be best for helping congestion? What brand to avoid or purchase? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpe Diem Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 and discovered that there are marijuana vaporizers. This isn't the type that I am inquiring about! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristinaBreece Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Ours is a Vicks Cool Mist. Works well for the kids' room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denisemomof4 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I think you should get the marijuana one. ;) KIDDING! I believe the cool mist ones are recommended over the warm ones. Can your dh talk to a pharmacist? Sometimes I'll just call one to get an opinion. I'm sorry you're needing one!!! Beware that cool mist vaporizors really do bring down the temps in the room. At least ours did/does.:grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shalom22 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I love the first sentence: 'I need a vaporizer', it makes me think that you are wanting to vaporize someone with your ray gun. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 If you have any sort of allergies or asthma, don't get one. They are impossible to get fully clean, even with a strict disinfecting regimen. The vaporizer makes the particles so small that it's very easy to get yucky stuff into your lungs.

3lilreds in NC Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 We really like our Holmes Cool Mist vaporizers. They are around 10 years old now and still going strong! I will have to check with the doctor about not using them with allergies. I've used them for years with the kids, but Schmooey does have asthma. I thought it would help him breathe more easily when he's all stuffed up when he's sick, and I use them for white noise in the kids' rooms in the winter when it's so dry. I had not heard that they were bad for people with asthma and allergies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indigomama Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 We use Vick's Warm Steam Vaporizers: http://www.amazon.com/Vicks-1-5-Gallon-Vaporizer-Night-Light/dp/B0000TN7ME/ref=sr_1_4?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1299470333&sr=1-4 :iagree::iagree:This is what we use as well. We use it almost all winter for our kids as it really helps their eczema. I think having the moisture in the room combats the skin drying effect of the heater. It was recommended to us from the Ped when our DS had a really bad cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpe Diem Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 The only one my dh could find was the vicks cool mist. I think I had it too close because I felt cold and damp all night but my cough does seem better today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
