I have used the Vick's warm mist and have a cool mist that I currently use.
When I used the warm mist humidifier, a lot of things in the room were affected. Any posters on the wall became shriveled. Any paper products were also adversely affected. I don't know if this was because of ultra high humidity or because of the warm mist.
The cool mist humidifiers I have used have never caused this kind of damage unless the mist was falling directly onto something that would absorb the water. The cool mist raised the humidity in the room adequately.
I have also purchased a fan type humidifier. The fan sucks air through a filter that is sitting in water that is in the bottom of the unit. It humidifies well enough but the fan is noisy. It was cheap though.
I recommend the cool mist humidifier.
