What type of humidifier do you use?
 

The title says it all.. Feel free to comment and defend your choice.

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

I use 65% HF Beads. I use 1 pound each in both of my 70 qt. coolers, as well as another 2 oz. in my desktop humi.

:tpd:

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

I have both 65% HF and 65% Shilala beads

Hydra LG active humidification system. My cabinet is to large for anything else.

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

Nobody likes a bragger. :r


I use beads in my cooler. :tu

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

2 years ago I started with a 50 count desk top. Not bragging, just calling it the way it is!!!!:noon:noon

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

:tu

I don't have a cab but in my 2 Vinos, 2 desk tops, cooler and Tupperware I used 65% bead. In my 3 travel humi's I used humi packs.

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

:tu Oh I was just kidding. I wish I had room for one.

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

Can you use both at the same time?

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

i dont see why not.

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

Same here. And I AM bragging. :-P

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

Used foam with glycol when I first started out, then moved to 65% Heartfelt beads after hearing this board rave about both the product and RH. After about 6 months at 65% I realised that 65% burned too hot for my personal preference so I moved back 70%, still with Heartfelt beads. Now I just use the Set and Forget that came with my Aristrocrat.

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

Beads for me :tu

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

Yes you can. I have a pound of each in one of my Vinos and have zero issues. :tu

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

Humidification device that came with the humis, but as of yesterday switched to the Jars.

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

Staebell Set & Forget from Bob for my Aristocrat.

Beads for the desktop humi's

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

Have a Cigar Oasis XL Plus for my main humidor, but I'm wanting to get some beeds to place in my old humidor that I no longer use for overflow purposes. Kicking myself because there was a group buy on them not too terribly long ago here but wasn't on here much during the summer and didn't see the thread until it was too late.

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

Been using Shilala beads for almost three years now without any issues. :tu :tu

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

:tuShilala Beads!

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

I vote other. In my desktop I have Jars, in the cooler, I have HF 65% beads.

Loving both.

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

I use silica crystal kitty litter in my cooler. Works great for a fraction of the price of beads.

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

I'm running a Hydra with 3 fans and some Heartfelt beads in my vinotemp, and some Heartfelt beads in my desktop...and some 60% beads in the little desktop that I use for pipe tobacco.

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

This. :tu

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

I have an Aristocrat M60 Plus with a "Set & Forget System" I feed it distilled water once a month. It's set for a constant 65% RH.

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

HCM (shilala) Beads.

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

shilala beads now, but plan to change to heartfelt soon.

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

This is the ticket!!!

Kitty Litter is the only way to go to cut the cost of humidification and spend the money on the things that matter..... Like new sticks to fill humidor! :banger

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

Why the switch?

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

2 of my humidors leak, so i need to re-charge my shilala beads fairly often. recharing the shilala beads take more time than recharing heartfelt because i can just spray some water on them. i have tried to rectify the leaks with foam seals and painters tape, so far nothing has helped. i have to recharge my current beads every week or 2.

one of the advantages on the shilala beads in very consistant rH, but I have not gotten that with my humidors (because of the leaks). so because of that im not even sure any beads will work.

and im not able to buy better humidors at this point.

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

Would you like your money back on the HCM beads? If so, just return them to me and I will issue a refund through Pay!Pal.

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

No need, the beads i got from you are fine, they just dont work with my application. Im satisfied with our transaction. Please don't think I am complaining, I'm not.

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

I use 65% HF beads in my desktop and edgestar, no complaints at all

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

In my end table unit I use a combination of 65% HCM beads and a Cigar Oasis to auto recharge them. In my desktop I use 65% HCM beads.

Both work well for me. :tu

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

I've been using mostly boveda packs since the beginning of the year. In the last month or so I have switched to kitty litter and DW. But.. a couple of days ago I opened a box of portages salmons and saw... MOLD! It had just started but it was there. So... I tossed that KL into the trash and I am back on Boveda packs.

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

KL in the vinodoor, footlocker humidor and cooler. All stay right at 63%.

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

Kitty litter? Hey, if I want my sticks to taste like ammonia, I'll buy CCs. :confused:







Oh, you mean FRESH kitty litter. Nevermind. ;s

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

I use the oasis XL in my cabinet... it seems to work well. Now that the winter months are amongst us, we will see how well it holds up and may reevaluate if need be.

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

Personally, in my cooler I use all of the above :)

I have two large jars and pucks that use PG, and I have two dry bags of 65% beads that I use to help prevent spikes in humidity.

Overall, the only thing I'd change is that I'd switch to an active humidifier at some point when I get a new cabinet.

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

Heartfelt beads in my little cigar box of "ready to smoke", and kitty litter (crystals) in my cooler which is now up to 50 cigars!!

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

65% HF beads in all 3 desktops, cooler and end table :tu

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

I trust KL to protect my babies.

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

Wow, more KL'ers than I thought in here. That seemed to be all the rage/hallmark of the other/old board.

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

What is a good container for the beads? I'm using a glad container without the lid. I'm thinking about poking holes in the lid so I don't have a giant mess one day though.

Prior to that I was using a ziplock bag partially opened. That didn't work well at all. My RH was hovering at around 50%; after switching to the container I'm right at 65% almost all the time.

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

Beads here!

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

Mesh bags work great. I also use some cheap, unused nylons that my wife bought. There's lots of surface area to absorb and release moisture.

Re: What type of humidifier do you use?
 

No option for "multiple".

Heartfelf beads for control (probably have 5 lbs between humis and coolers). I use drymist sticks in my humis for moisture input. When the cooler beads start to get low, I spray them with water. They don't need recharging very often.

Way to go Michael continuing the great customer service of Scott Shilala the creator of HCM.

When you are able to get a new Humi you'll have the HCM beads waiting.
