If your warm-air humidifier isn't putting out enough steam, try adding a few pinches of salt to the warm water/vicks combo inside. The directions on mine said that if you have soft water, you'll need to add a little salt, and mix it around well. After i added the salt to mine, it started working really well, and i could see the steam coming out.
Also, i just put my pup in the "steam cave" whenever he is napping, which is pretty often - at least three or four hours a day. It's so warm and cozy in there, i wish i could sleep in it with him sometimes, lol!
