I don’t believe your design will work that way. All the pressure you pump into the sprayer will shoot out the dripper unless you put some sort of solenoid in the middle. The best way is to use just a dripper that you can buy at any pet shop, and build the mister separate. They make gallon drippers that will go all day and more unless you have them drip really quickly. I built one of these garden sprayer systems based on the ones from barrs.com. The simplest way is to pick up a couple of water hose solenoid and a sprinkler timer and it will good. But I must say if I had known what I know now about this system, which is that it only good fro 1 days spraying or less then it needs to be filled/pumped. I would suggest just buying a system from one of the following. The cost would only be about 30 dollars more and allot less work.
These guys make the rainmaker jr. they also sell just pumps and mister heads.

These guys make Mr. Moisture

These folks sell parts for the pump type you have in mind.

:I'm thinking about building an all-in-one misting/dripper system for my cham's cage. Above is a crude sketch of what I'd like to do. It consists of a garden sprayer, some kind of timer, a dripper nozzle, a few misting nozzles, and some tubing.
:When complete, this system will drip 24 hours a day (or less if i put it on a timer) and mist according to the schedule I put into the timer.
:I already have the misting nozzles and the dripper nozzle, but I need a garden sprayer, a timer of some sort, some tubing, and the tubing connectors.
:Here's where I need your help. What kind of timing device can I use so that I can mist the cage 3 times a day for 2 minutes?
:Also, where do I buy the tubing and connectors?
:Anything else you can help me with?
