I purchased this tonight for $13.

Enthalpy has to come from somewhere, and in the case of this vaporizer, it's from electricity. It draws 88W. It's strictly manually operated.

My office has drafty, single pane windows and forced air, and the lab next door is a controlled (low) humidity environment. 20% RH at my desk. I have dry skin and a sinus headache that responds amazingly well to nasal irrigation. Hopefully, I can raise the humidity at home to offset the parched environment at work. At this point, saving money on home heating would be an afterthought.
