I've been considering adding one of these to my 36" shop fan. Any of you guys have one or something similar? It's pretty damn hot in NC right now and I don't venture out in the shop when it's unbearable like it is now.
I don't think you're going to get any relief from a mister in NC. They're really effective when the humidity is low. As the moisture evaporates it provides a cooling effect. In NC you're not going to get much evaporation since the air is already pretty moisture laden.
The OP is in Eastern North Carolina, he might as well be in Pensacola. These things really work well in Arizona and New Mexico not so much in the Southeast.
