Seasoning the humidor....in-season

yes..i had one that did 90 gallons per day...cost me 170 i think for the unit.......i really have little scientific background (i am a managment/econ guy) so I will not pretend scientifically which is better. But I have to say it is pretty moot.....

I'm not out to argue with you, just want to get things squared away. A lab grade filtration unit will cost around $1000. I think some of the smaller basic systems will run around $750. Water from the RO unit will be better than using tap water, but I would much rather use distilled water than the RO water.

But back to the original topic of the thread. Do you have to "Re-season" a humidor every year? It seems to me that if the RH inside the humidor is stable via whatever method or whatever moisture you use (Reverse osmosis or distilled or whatever) that there should be no reason to re-season.

Do we agree on this point?

I agree with that point and I apologize for getting us off on the Distilled vs. RO tangent. My bad! I did learn about beads though and if Viper's webpage were working, I'd be ordering some!

Threadjack on:

Sidewinder, check your PM box.
Thank you. That is all.

Threadjack off.

Yeah, if it isn't broken don't try to fix it. If the humidor dries out then by all means re-season it.
