Refilling the Humidifier !

**centurycigar** · 09-28-2005, 02:24 PM

Yeah I using the 50/50 solution which works good. But I refilled them yesterday and my hygrometer went up 73 which is ok, but I like a lower humidity level.
The thing is just bought a new 300 cnt humidor and they give you those stupid cheap retangle humifiers. Im in the process of replacing them.
Thank for the recommendation for the bead humidifer, is Paradigm any good???

Also, since my new humidor is large (3 levels, with 2 trays) my 2 digital hygrometers are reading higher (73%) on the lower level (which is where the humdifiers are placed) and lower (67%) on the top level. Is this normal or a sign to replace my humidifiers?????

If I was in your boat, I'd probably go with the beads if you're looking to replace your existing humidifiers. From reading past posts, the guy who owns heartfelt industries provides excellent customer service and has a high satisfaction rate on his products.

For more information on beads, and heartfelt (viper is the owner) check out this thread:

Good Luck!

I replaced the cheap rectangle humidifiers with 2 round high quality Madelaine yesterday and its seems to have evened out the humidity. Just goes to show you cant trust tose cheap humidifers. Im still going to eventually replace these and get the beads! Its just less hassle with them. Now that everything is good in the humi, its ready for my newly bought box of Rocky Patel 1990 Vintage Robustos and my Cuban Punch Punch !

I was told to stay away from PG, because it can affect the taste of a cigar. In addition, I have read on the internet while researching PG that it is harmful to health. But then again, so is smoking, so who cares?
