if this has to do with your travel humidor question, the humidifier should come charged with 50/50 and last for 3-6 mo.
Not to be rude, but you should probably properly introduce yourself before asking questions and expecting answers. While we (including me) would be happy to help, it's just not exactly good form. If you're just helping your dad and that's it, then great. Otherwise, do an introduction, fill out a profile, and let the forum get to know you a little better. Just some friendly advice.
... and welcome to the forum.
After that 3-6 month period, do you douse the humidor with straight solution or do you mix it with distilled water? I'm not exactly sure how to conduct that whole process.
I went to a local drug store and they ordered a pint of propolene glycol for me. I believe the cost was around 9 bucks. Mixing your own solution is the cheapest way to go.

I thoroughly wet the humidifier with 50/50 solution (water's in it already). Times in between, you do the same in distilled water. Or like, 90% of the guys on the board, use beads!Quote:

What kinda travel humidor do you have? Just wondering cause cigarmony.com has that humidipuck now in a slimmer version which can fit in most of them. You just stick it in the top. If you have a smaller travel humidor and aren't going for that long of a trip I would just use plain distilled water.

lol - I went into a craft store, I asked the lady for propolene Glycol and she got all wide-eyed and started to back away saying she was going to have to get the manager. I left, I figured she called the cops. I went to Brooks drugstore and got a catalog from a guy but could only get 50 gallon drums. I finally got some at a 2 guys smoke shop, used it for two weeks and then got the beads. I think the bottle is in the basement. Don't waste your money, get the beads.Quote:

You should/could try a feed store, or a store that sells supplies for farmers that raise cattle. They use it to aid in the treatment of ketosis.
