Large Humidor Humidity Questiion

LuvMycigar.blogspot.com

I just purchased the Verona humidor. I have a Oasis XL plus. Is this sufficient for humidification for the entire space? Will need some kind of circulation?

I guess I was not detailed enough. The humidor is a large humidor cabinet. It can hold up to 3000 cigars. I was wondering if the Oasis will be good?

I wish I could give you accurate information but I do not have a cabinet and have no experience with the Oasis. I'm slowly working on getting a cabinet for when I get a house. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

One of the guys here has a XL he uses in his cabinet humidor. Can't remember who it is - phobicsquirrel? Your thread title is not very specific - if you can edit it to included something about a cabinet humidor and active hygrometer advice...

I think that is what the XL is made for so it should work, best advice to MAKE DOUBLE-Y sure is to have a few pounds of beads all throughout the cabinet.... that way you have one that puts OUT Rh and one that can also take it IN if it gets too high... that's the best way IMHO

Well I received a call from FedEx Freight. They will be delivering my humidor Thursday. They asked me if I had a forklift to remove it from the truck. I, of course, said no. Well she said either you get a whole bunch of guys or you pay us $76 to use the lift gate. Then she it will be another 56 for the guy to help me move it to just the doorstep. I already paid $150 to have it shipped. FedEx is a ripoff! Oh well at least I will have my new humidor on Thursday.

Kuzi16,

 

  Wow great ideas. I never thought about those. OK, I am planing to set it up in my family room where the room temperture fluctuates. Any ideas on how to stabilize the temp in the summer and the winter. I was thinking about placing cold packs in there in the summer but I dont know about the winter.

I have a cabinet humidor (2000 ct) and I run a Cigar Oasis II XL in it along with 2 lbs. of beads and it works great. Also, you can get fans that plug into the Oasis II that really help keep the humidity distributed. Hope this helps.

Tell them not to forget the Vasoline since you're getting screwed.

How do you have the computer fans and the thermoelectric air conditioners set up?

i know a 100ct wouldnt be considered a "large humidor" to some of you. but i have a question about it. when i put my digital hygrometer on the bottom of my 5vegas tradition humidor it reads about 67% which is pretty much where i want it. but when i put it on the divider at the top it reads a constant 76% which worries me. i have the standard rectangular humidifier in it. which is directly over about 16 sticks or so. should i just remove the divider? or should i take the rectangular humidifier out and just put a couple of drymistat tubes in place of it? i have about 6 of those i think if i put one on the bottom and one on the divider it would keep it a constant level. perhaps the divider is blocking any air circulation. not sure. anyone have a suggestion?

I had a sim. problem until I switched to beads. Best investment I could have ever made. Been 67 or 68% depending on how much my furnance kicks on cause it's been warm and cold up here lately.

Marty, I have that same humi. Take out the green foam and fill it with beads. Put a tube of beads on the bottom. Problem solved.

also, just an fyi...you will get higher humidity levels at the top of your humi. Believe it or not, humid air rises.
