My mist nozzles seem to keep clogging/stop working. I have a misting system with 6 of these orbit brand brass/stainless steel nozzles as pictured. Most of them stopped working after about a month, and after replacing them last week many have already stopped working again. One still works, some steadily drip water, some don’t allow any water out at all. Am I doing anything wrong? Are there better misting systems out there?

You probably need to filter the water source you are using. Maybe it’s high in minerals, ie “hard water.”
Add a mesh filter. You need decent pressure. Say 50psi through a regulator. I use a Netafim Coolnet misters with Check values on each head. 3/4 pipe.
