Default Which orchids don't like being misted?

I'm thinking about building a wardian case to house orchids, carnivorous plants (primarily Nepenthes), and perhaps some other tropical plants like aroids and bromeliads. I've been really inspired by Akenhaten's setup (http://www.orchidboard.com/community...n-tropics.html), in which he uses a misting system to water all his plants, and I'd like to do something similar, so maintenance is as simple as possible (if I have to manually water numerous plants in a terrarium, they're doomed ).

I'm fairly new to orchids, and so I'm still learning about the requirements of the various genera and species, but I've seen some references to some species not liking their crowns being wet (Phals in particular).

So my question is this: are there particular orchid species that will not like being in a terrarium/wardian case and being sprayed with mist regularly?
