I think the problem is your humidifier needs to be able to keep up with the rate of air turnover in your house. If your humidifier can't push a 1/4 gallon an hour it's probably not doing that much. I think the wick type humidifiers likely suck because at low humidity the dew point is really low, the wick gets cold and the water doesn't can't evaporate very fast.
