Default Re: Original Cigar Oasis: worth a try?

2 - The newer models have digital readouts, which aren't exact anyway, so, is there any reason to shy away from the original? What are its drawbacks?

3 - can this original be calibrated?

thanks everyone
Checking craigslist huh? If I was closer to that ad I would jump on it too.


Anyway I think the Oasis would be overkill for that humidor. Just get some beads tubes. I have a similar humi to that one, with drawers, and just have bead bags in the drawers with the sticks.

But for the sake of discussion I run an Oasis in my cabinet and I dug out all the foam and replaced it with the crystal/gel and it works great. Search around, Bobby (S15driftking) posted a good tutorial on doing it.

If you pick up the package and end up not using the Oasis let me know if you want to trade it for some sticks.
