Junking My Rectangular Humidifier

[cls515]

I have heard that propylene glycol can alter the taste of a cigar. I do not know, because I have never used the stuff. I use the beads and would not want to use anything else. PG is a fungicide, and fungal cells are similar to human cells. I have read over the internet that PG is an irritant for humans. So I don't use that stuff.

I think you might be getting Propylene Glycol and Ethylene Glycol mixed up. PG is in all sorts of stuff, toothpaste, deoderant, food coloring etc. Where as Ethylene can screw up your blood filitering organs and nervous system.

Trust me...65% beads are the only way to go. They are stable and just need refreshing every month or so.

Thanks fellas...my order has been placed for the 65% beads. Hopefully they'll go out today...really looking forward to having a MUCH more painless setup and to see the difference with my cigars when they stabilize in the 65% environment.

NH, ethylene and propylene glycol are similar. PG is "generally regarded as safe". More PG is needed to show the effects ethylene glycol show at lower concentrations. Either way, I'll stear clear.

Ah, crap :(. . .

So that stuff affects the taste of your c-gars? :O

People have been using this stuff for years and I have heard no complaints about it affecting the flavour of cigars.
