Hey everyone,
I have grown tired of my low quality spray bottle, which constantly leaks and drips water all over my room, and the rest just turns into an unpleasent afternoon.
SO, does any know where to purchase high-pressured misters? Kind of like the one vraev has.

I have been using the Gilmore 'Spray-doc's for a couple of years, pretty much everyday and am very happy with them. I use the model 101PL, which holds 1 gallon or 3.8 liters and is my personal favorite. I also use the model 020PEXG, good for 1.5 gallons or 5.7 litres, although one can easily put more water in these. Most of the parts are replaceable and readily available at a number of outlets. Try gardening centres or hardware stores. I recommend not going for a huge sprayer, because they are hard on your joints if you use them everyday and are not used to the weight associated with them. Especially if you have to contort your body to get into some tight places to water those awkward, hard to reach plants.

Hey Carnivoure12, I got mine from fortinos. You can find these pressure misters in home depot or canadian tire as well. You just have to know what you are looking for. In Canadian tire...go to the section which has the plant supplies such as weed removal sprays, etc etc and look around the aisles near it. Mine has been with me for around an yr and a half and I have been working it to bits. I am looking for one again in fortinos as I still found that sometimes the crude grocery store ones are the best. So if you want something just like this....maybe try your fortinos "plant section"?? these misters were completely unmarked and present in a transparent plastic bag with a price tag at 8$.

hmm....yeah! its kinda a shot in the dark to find it in grocery stores. I went back to fortinos when I checked earlier this week. There isn't any of them available anymore. But yeah...the ones in canadian tire and home depot look a bit different...but they are basically all the same in principle and function. Good luck in finding one.

Varun - so wait, you're saying that you managed to get the ones they use to mist vegetables at grocery stores? That's fantastic! I wanted to get those, but had no idea where so I too ended up getting a system from mistking. It works great, but it's pretty pricey, although I guess you pay for what you get.

here ya go. I just took a pic with my cell phone: I have used this for almost 2 yrs now. As u can see...its just a regular mister that I found in the grocery store in the plants section. there were only like 2 in two cheap looking plastic bags...priced at like 7.99$ each. But hey....it works man. It sure works and is great. I can never go back to the tradition squeeze action one with the plants i have. This one is wicked....build up pressure in the container and then just a little squeeze to let the jet loose. If you want to water plants ...just open the valve a bit and it becomes a stream rather than a spray. All my plants are watered and sprayed using this. I have not seen this again. I have seen SIMILAR ones though and even bought a couple to replace this at nursaries/canadian tire/home depot. But this old one was better so I returned them all. Check it out..... go and look around the eilse where you can find sprayers such as those fertilizer/pesticide sprayers and you will find this. Its pretty common....its just hard to recognise and realise what you are looking at. I would really like to get a mist king system...but not until I revamp my setup which I have been planning on doing for more than an yr now.

sorry man! I feel for ya. THe reason: I sometimes faced situations like that as well. I took 3 buses went over to sherdan nursaries for a new one of these. Got it and after 2 days realised I had to go back to return it as it was defective. But...positively: You now know what to look for. Its just a matter of time before you can get it.

i Went through 2 pressure misters in a week, that was all for me. Garbage they had orange tops dunno the brand
I use the cheapest mister i could find and it still works from 2 years back. i removed the inside tube so it needs to be upside down to use But this allows you to squeeze the bottle itself causeing a more rainlike drop. it drips offcoarse.
also you can remove top spray potion at tighten it to 2liter pop botlle with a solution in it. defender, Trich, Fert, No damp, etc.
DONT FORGET 2 DEPRESSURIZE
