Humidification placement
Does it matter where these go?
I have a 150 count humidor with a glass top. It has a shelf. Should I put the humidifiers on top? or on bottom?
I am curious if humidity coming off the humidifier rises or falls.
With 150 count humidor (and full), I seem to need either two large humdifiers or four smaller ones.
I am leaning towards 3 or four smaller jar (gel) type humidifiers. These seem to take the least amount of precious real-estate.
Right now, I have a Boveda pack and a large sponge. These seem to be keeping the humidity well.
But after all the talk about mold with the sponges, I want to change it out.
All of my humidifiers are: 1 large sponge, 1 small spong, one small gel jar, one LARGE gel puck.
I was leaning towards getting the Drymistat tubes - I figure I need six of these = $60.00 - ouch
Then I thought about the cigar oasis - this is kinda large and it only handles 100 cigars.
What to do?

Pucks and boxes, seem like they would take a LOT of real-estate...
Or can I put the cigars in (on) these with beads???
Thanks
food for thought:
i could hold 4 more cigars if i didnt have the beads in my humidor. I think four cigars is a good number to give up to hold RH for a good amount of time.
I think I am already losing 12 cigars for my large sponge rectangle.
Thanks again.
i n the smoking humidor i put new cigars at the bottom and slowly rotate to the top, generally speaking. In the aging humidor i tend to to the same thing but at a much slower rate. If the cigar is on the top shelf then im seriously considering putting it in the smoking humidor. if its on the lower shelf im trying not to look at it for a good long time.
When I recieved (it was a gift, great gift, but unexpected) my humidor I was fairly new to the aspect of having one. So not knowing much about them and where to place certain objects that came with it, I ended up placing my humidification device on the bottom, and I knew well enough that the hygrometer should be on the underside of the top for easy access to read any everything. My hygrometer reads a steady 68-70% and really have not had any complaints about anything. Cigars seem to be fine and seem to be aging correctly. Just wanted to know besides having more space on the bottom is it crucial to relocate that humidification box.
