Not all ultrasonic personal humidifiers use wicks..
The Medisana unit has neither wick nor filter and has a nebulizer
discharge tube.
Since ions are dissolved in the water, a wick will probably transport
them to the vibrating plate along with whatever particles the wick doesn't
filter out.
The wick absorbs water/ions and any left behind to dry will oxidize into
that brown residue.
If you run one till a napkin is good and wet, let it dry and you see the
napkin turn brown after it dries, that's proof that the wick is OK...maybe
not the best, but it's doing something.
Some have filters have ion exchange resin beads in them. Minerals will
encrust the plate if not removed, hence the beads.
You'll probably need to gut that filter.
I never noticed any agglomeration...or "silver" encrusting the plate.

Since I don't own one, but I do own two small personal ultrasonic
hmidifiers, that we've talked about here in the past and used as nebulizers,
I have this question...
Those humidifiers I have use wicks to transport the liquid to the misting
apparatus. Those wicks turn brown from trapped and oxidized silver. It makes
me think that this is not particularly effective as a nebulizer, although
very quiet and convenient, but my observation is that my air powered neb
gets the job done better and faster.
So- Do ultrasonic nebs use wicks?
