View Full Version : Vaporizer or Humidifier?
Every winter I get incredibly dry skin and sinuses from having the heat on in the house. I decided to take a trip to my local pharmacy to buy a vaporizer. Or a humidifier. I wasn't sure which one I needed or what the difference was.
There was a huge variety - cool mist vaporizers, hot steam vaporizers, cool mist humidifiers, and hot steam humidifiers. I was confused, so I asked the pharmacist. She told me that on the back of the box of one of them it had a chart that would best tell you which was the best choice for you.
On this chart a myriad of problems and symptoms were listed - runny nose, dry skin, stuffed head, chest congestion, etc. with a check next to each one that supposedly aided in the relief of said problem.
I was so fucking confused I walked out.
Basically, I want something to keep my skin and nasal passages from turning into sandpaper.
Any recommendations?
Thanks.

Dr. Steve?
Humidifier for all winter use. Vaporizer for extreme situations.
I'm not a fan of the warm mist ones.
Or you can just come up to my place in sit in the hot tub under the stars and fresh snowfall listening to John Prine, The Stones, and The Band.

I bought a Vics Humidifier at CVS a few years ago and it still works great. No more dry mouth and skin when I wake up. But I'm not sure about the sinuses, since I don't have that problem.

That actually sounds pretty damn good.

If you get either you need to be sure to keep the liquid basin clean. If water sits there when its not being used it is a breeding ground for bugs. So clean it out frequentely. I would favor the humidifier

Thanks, Doc. Check my tags out...I put "bacteria" in there because I've read that these things are a breeding ground for it.
Is it worth it to get one? And what the fuck is the difference between a vaporizer and humidifier?

I run a humidifier during the winter for the heat and my wife fires up the vicks vaporizer when I've got a cold. Love the vicks ! Vaporizer is heat based humidifiers now are cool aid based.

my nose gets really dry in the winter so i started using a saline nasal spray like ocean. it makes a big difference. this humidifier/ vaporizer issue is very interesting to me. i have really bad sinuses too, but i can't sleep if it's too hot. i'm sleeping with the window open now & the heat off. do humidifiers make it hotter in the bedroom?

here's a good slate article (http://www.slate.com/id/2183196/) giving a rundown of a few different humidifiers. it's an old article, but it can still guide you in the right direction.
we have a few cheap animal-shaped ultrasonics from target. they are super quiet and put out cool mist at a pretty decent clip. the only drawback is they are small-ish so i have to refill they every 1-2 days.

I LOVE these things. I have 3 of them in the house--2 cows and an elephant.
Running them, using a neti-pot and saline spray keeps my nose moist and skin soft. I run one in my daughter's room constantly and she's only had two minor colds in her 2 years of living.

Super dry boogers now.
animal humidifiers, neti pots and saline spray, silly man.
I'm slowly dehydrating to death.
So dry.
So itchy.
So stuffed up.

After reading this thread, I bought one of these the other day.
It doesn't do shit but make my place smell like vapor rub. I feel like I'm eating ecstasy again.

I'll send Hottub over with a pair of rubber gloves and some Vick's Rub. I'm sure that should help.

I've been pretty bad this year also.
This thread actually inspired me to go out and buy a Vicks 1.0 Gallon Coolmist Humidifier (http://www.amazon.com/Vicks-Gallon-Cool-Mist-Humidifier/dp/B0000TN7MO). I have been using it the past 5 days, and I gotta tell ya............it's been working great.
And now you know...

I got a cool mister for the boy. He's very supple.
He's sick though so we've been using the warm one past few nights. Still surprisingly supple.
I can't imagine you'd go wrong with either. Just use the warm one when you're cranky, sutffy and wake at midnight with poopiepants.

I just bought a warm steam vaporizer! Along with my neti pot I'll have the healthiest sinuses EVER!!!
I rule!!!
Wow. I used my vaporizer for the first time last night and I woke up with healthy, moist sinuses even though I had the heat cranked last night.
This is amazing.
The vaporizer and the neti pot now rank as the two greatest purchases I ever made.
