Default Re: Humidor woes with stabilization

Humidity will sink lower obviously, because moisture in the air weighs more than the air around it.

Have you tried putting the Hydra more in the middle of the cabinet to balance it out? Are your fans blowing in a circular sequence (moving air up one side and down the other)?



I used some flexible plastic duct tubing to route the flow of moist air in my Vino from the Oasis at the bottom up to the top. I sealed the top end and drilled half inch holes along the length to allow moist air to flow out evenly at all heights.

That's the hosing I used. Took longer to drill the holes in the soft plastic (ended up using a broom handle to stiffen it while I drilled) than it did to install it so that the Oasis blows directly up the tube (tube resting on the Oasis blow hole).


Edit to add that a HumidiFresh commercial humidifier is the absolute best you can do. Those are VERY capable machines that regulate humidity very well. The downside is the cost at $350 for the unit.
