Maplin's do 2 mini foggers, with and without LED's, looks similar to the Exo Terra Fogger except the water level sensor is a different shape.
Both only need a water depth of at least 45mm (less than 2")

The Mini-Fogger Mist Generator is priced at £14.99
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=35215&DOY=29m2
& Mini-Fogger with Multi-Coloured Lighting is priced at £19.99
http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?ModuleNo=35219&doy=29m2

Delivery is free (within the UK mainland) for all orders over £35 inclusive of VAT. For orders under £35 inclusive of VAT a small order charge will be levied. The current charge is £2.99
Or you can collect from your local store if you have one & if they are in stock, but you can be check availability on-line.

I have been thinking about getting one, but like you, not sure how to hide it in my setup so the FBT's don't touch it.
I believe you shouldn't use them continuously as they can deplete the water if left running all the time, but should be okay on a timer switching on for an hour & then off for a couple of hours and then repeat the cycle multiple times a day?

I have some of the Foggers from Maplins and hide them in pots with netting over to stop my frogs from making contact with the fogger.
They use quite a bit of water so need regular checks but they have a sensor which stops the fogger from working if the water level is too low.
They also fit in the exo terra waterfalls.

i had one ages an ages ago basically i gt a small tub of water an burried it in the substrate and put bit of mesh and then some slate over it the other idea i had was a bottle of water with the top cut off fogger put in and then then taped back together without the lid right up the back covered with plant and yes it kills your water which is why i didnt want it in the water bowl it was set for 15 mins on every 4 hrs but not at night and it would use up about 250ml of water this way great for humidity tho
