I have been in a tropical rain forest and I really don't believe you could ever match that in a home environment. You would have to have moisture dripping down the walls at least a couple of times a day. LOL. The only thing that would come close is in the bathroom after a hot shower and everything is all steamy. Where your damp and warm at the same time. Of course I can't remember where you live, maybe you have high humidity in your area.

The reasons for not using a vaporizer. hmmmm. One is that any direct contact with the steam would burn. Another is that you can catch a chill when being removed from that environment. Like leaving the bathroom after the shower you hit that wall of cold air. Now if it wasn't positioned where there could be any close contact with the vaporizer or steam and that it only ran at times where the temperature could slowly return to normal before removing your ig into the cold, it could work.

Better yet, just let your ig roam the bathroom while your taking a shower. Nice high humidity in a room that can handle it. Just don't remove him from the bathroom immediately after your done.
