Might as well just go get a couple Vino's.

Also beware of the rain forest effect or condensation in jars. IF you have beads you should be fine though.

Well, I recieved both of the jar humidors (one yesterday, the other today..long story, don't make orders at 1am)...and so far so well.

The hygrometers will be in in a day or two, and the larger humidor will be in soon as well, if the company ships it soon that is.

another question...is it possible to over-humidify using a pre-mixed glycol/water solution?

Not a big fan of glycol solution, some people swear by it, but in the end using the solution is no different than using distilled water. Get yourself some beads and in the end you will be extremely glad you did. Takes out all of the guess work

I have used an Acrylic jar humi for over a year now as a traveldor. I use a Drimistat w/ 3/4 full beads and an adjustable hygro velcrod to the top. The temps I run through range from 100 + to -15 and no problems. Also ,no damage from gars standing up.
