Sure, looks like it works.

Re: Coolidors
 

I'm with Brother Radio on this one... I don't see ANY concern for keeping them in the bin, as long as it doesnt' have any overly-plasticy smells to it.

Re: Coolidors
 

Hmmmm, maybe I am just over-thinking or being too paranoid, but wouldn't have one of these defeat the purpose of having a humi? It doesn't look like it seals well and if it's only $6 why isn't everyone using these.

I'm not trying to nitpick, I am just trying to wrap my mind around this, I think it's an awesome idea, it just seems too easy for it to work correctly.

Re: Coolidors
 

It is inside of his coolidor so it only functions as a shelving unit, his coolidor keeps the RH around it.

Re: Coolidors
 

I think you are missing the part where the $6 drawer contraption is placed inside of the coolerdor.
It is simply a storage solution.
Others use empty boxes and some use trays.
Whatever works for you! :tu

What they said...

Mr. Bass,

we've ALL been there... countless hours spent staring at a hygrometer, hoping our precious babies will be O.K.... Before long, you'll be checking it once a month to make sure everything is O.K. and just how you left it.

I find that having empty cigar boxes (easily and readily available at your local B&M) will do wonders for storage as long as you put them inside a coolidor, vinotemp, or huge tupperware container. Mike chose to put his in a 'cosmetics drawer' (at least that's what my wife uses that exact rig for), and the entire contraption inside the cooler.

It takes a lot less due diligence than you think. I've been at this hobby for quite a while, and after time it seems like a piece of cake. But, we all remember starting down the slope and the precious investment.

Until you get comfortable, we'll be here to answer your questions.

Re: Coolidors
 

What do people have the beads in.. What kind of sack are you using?

Re: Coolidors
 

Depends on the beads. You can buy tubes (http://www.heartfeltindustries.com/p...at=Empty+Tubes), special bags (http://www.cigarmony.com/8ouncemeshbagholder.aspx) or use (tied off) panty-hose for Heartfelt or similar beads. My HCM beads come prepackaged in bags.

Re: Coolidors
 

I was a panty host in college, but usually tied up rather than tied off.

Re: Coolidors
 

I have the beads, just trying to see what to put them in.

Re: Coolidors
 

Ankle high nylons are perfect. About $2 from the grocery or drug store. :banger

Re: Coolidors
 

What bob said, even though I'll admit I like the Heartfelt mesh bags and use those. They are so easy.

Re: Coolidors
 

This is what I have in my cooler. :tu

Re: Coolidors
 

I have the shilala HCMs and they work flawless so far

Re: Coolidors
 

X2 I have these is 2/3 humis and they work flawlessly.

I also have a puck-ifier in a third and it works flawlessly as well.

Re: Coolidors
 

I'm sold on a coolidor! I was thinking of going the wine cooler route but the expense and space are an issue. Many reviews I have read on wine coolers have sad they have a high failure rate after a year of use. I am out growing my 2 humidors and have a brand new extreme cooler in the garage. Plus this will give me the option of putting the cooler in the basement during the summer to regulate the temp better. Great thread here full of valuable info!
