couple of questions, mold

[nhcigarfan]

It's common on the sponge type humi if you don't use distilled water, or didn't at some point and/or for a bunch of other reasons. You can take it out and buy a new one, switch to bead (good idea) or clean it with a diluted bleach solution, rinse well, rinse well again with distilled water and let it dry completely.

Problem with mold is the spores. They are in the humi now so you will need to be very careful not to allow the humidity and temp to rise to high or you could get it growing elsewhere. By elsewhere I mean your cigars.


As for the lighter. you need to hop around on one foot while you shake the butane can in one hand and rub the lighter against your stomach with your other. Otherwise you'll never get fuel in it.

Or make sure you are matching up the correct size butane nozzle with your lighter. My cigar lighter uses the naked butane spout but I bought my dad this fancy ass pipe lighter that needed an adapter.

Try a search with the terms "bleed" and "lighter". Remember "Search is your friend"

Exactly... Bleed for the lighter, and to prevent humidifier mold in the future get the beads or their equivalent!

I have also found that certain types of butane are better than others, I use Vector (filtered 5+ times.) I have found that Calibri butane doesn't seem to work worth a damn.

Finally, now maybe my lighter will fill.......clockwise, counter-clockwise, or side to side on the rubbing part? (damn I'm open for some shots here)
