Questions for everyone

Ever read a list of all the crap they put in drinking water? Doesn't go a long way to make your cigars taste or smell good, being all loaded up with chlorine and flouride and who knows what else.

[Cheeze]

Yep thats about it!!!

All of the mineral deposits from tap water will ultimately clog the humidification device.

Eh, you might be able to get away with it, but is it really worth saving a buck fitty for a gallon of distilled water?

Honestly , the only real danger filtered well water should afford is bacteria or spores. City water will have trace amounts of chemicals. Both will have dissolved minerals, but that's it. The risks are minor at best.

The thing with distilled water is consistency and a negligible price. It costs you practically nothing to make the previous risks non-existant. Some may consider it a pain to store and use a jug instead of the tap.

Both arguments are valid, so I say just let him do what he want's and mind your own business. Give him your opinion once and just let him be.

If you have to use tap water,boil it for 15minutes and save in a decontaminated container or jar.

I probably isnt going to make a bit of differnce, think of the number of chemicals that go into making the humidification device.
