how long does the misting last after you have given it a few pumps?

Several minutes if you continuously press the button. It doesn't take much to make the mist work well. My 5yr old had it most of the time and he definitely misted anything and everything within reaching distance for hours!

The misting continues for as long as you hold in the button while fan is on

You should be fine, maybe add just a touch more water. Roughly the same amount of water will be used, the 15 second intervals of misting just have longer gaps between on the longer cycles. There does seem to be an inconsistency to the amount of water that gets used, but I feel like that has more to do with the amount of moisture in the air, than the length of the cycle. I run mine on the 7 hour cycle regularly, and I continues to mist the whole time, but uses approximately the same amount of water as when I run the one or three hour cycles.

Not very long - maybe 5-10 minutes. Sometimes it doesn't work at all - I have to empty out the water and refill it before it will work. These are NOT worth the money.

It's an ultrasonic mist, so no heat up and the fine mist should spray out virtually immediately when it's started. I only run it for 30-60 min at a time since it isn't recommended to diffuse for longer periods than that. There is still about 2/3 of the original quantity of water in the chamber after 60 minutes even though it produces a continual mist and aroma from the essential oils during the full diffusing time. So, in 180 min, most of the liquid should be used. You do need to make sure you're not using distilled water. The ultrasonic function needs minerals in the water to work properly and create the mist.

Not surprised. Mine isn't producing much mist and I expect it will quit any day now. Unhappy with this purchase and not cheap. I would send it back or email the manufacturer.

Cool mist. We use ours in our dental office and it lasts from open to close, about 6 hrs.

if you press firmly it does produce a fine mist.if you press very slowly, you can get it to produce more of a squirt

Yes, there should be a visible mist. Mine starts the mist almost immediately and uses almost all of the water when running for 180 minutes. Sounds like yours isn't working properly.

once you have water in the tank it takes up to 15 minutes for the filter to saturate with water. then you can turn it on and get mist. you can soak the filter first then put it in and then put the full tank on and it will work right off. Does that make sense?

About four to five hours. Also, the scent is stronger when it first runs and then less so as time goes on.

I use it once a day..about 'two pumps' from the bottle. I think the bottle lasts about 6 weeks.

we have ours in an area, that's about 24 feet by 26 feet and this works great. it has to be filled every 16 to 18 hours, mist takes a few minutes to start after filling.

I imagine awhile... I have had it two weeks and use it twice a day. Two pumps each time and it doesn't look like I have used much at all. Love this product!!!

I've had mine about 2 1/2 years. The fan still turns on, but the little metal plate no longer vibrates, so of course no mist is produced. :( Yes, it will also produce little or no mist if it has too much or too little water in the lower portion, but sometimes it just goes kaput regardless of any trouble shooting. For $90 I would have liked it to last longer. It was great while it lasted.

Usually 20 minutes but I have noticed the heat intensifies slighty when used numerous times in a row. That's a good thing :D

Maybe 2-3 minutes. It does not take long at all. Of course, the more water in it in longer it takes. I think when it is at the max level it wold take 3 minutes.

A few minutes at most. Don't let it dry before coming back to rinse. I found it best to work in smaller patches.
