Yes I'm doing an mist system. I ordered two of these:

I did some googling and other people seem to have good luck with these aquarium air pumps. Most of them use the 80 l/min models but recommended going 120l/min +.
So I just got the biggest one. A compressor would be just to loud for my situation. And the paintbrush one's seem to have a hard time to keep up with the airflow.
If it does not work out than I will just return it in 14 days and get my money back. In that case a paintbrush / real compressor will be the alternative.
People who use compressors seem to be running these nozzles <1 bar so I think I'm alright.
As a liquid I'm testing lamp oil or ethanol , these both should work out fine.
The 280 l/min might be a bit much for my two little misting units , so it is possible that I need to add 2-3 more or just some copper to get some more volume trough it.
here is somebody running a 65-120l/min system:

Thank you for the recommendation. I will defiantly try it.
