You can also use distilled water in an ultrasonic humidifier to avoid the white dust, but that could end up being more expensive than the wicks. You could also get a Venta, which needs neither distilled water nor wicks, but it's expensive. The requirements here are at odds. I agree that given the relatively low cost of a humidifier/distilled water/wicks vs our instruments (or, heck, even strings or picks!) trying to go cheap with humidification is not a strategy I'd pursue.
