For the more thrifty among us, Mtmouse makes a fine product - I'm going through him, as well as through ChasDen making the stained-front drawers.

Boy am I excited for the coming weeks

Hi guys, can somebody answer two things about these Vinotemp's for me? Do they both cool and warm to keep the desired temperature or do they only cool? And, are they already well sealed to retain humidity or do they need some treatment to better seal them? Thanks.

They don't warm. So if they are in an environment lower then the preset desired temp. then the interior will eventually drop to the outer environment temp.

The only thing you need to do to the 'seal' is plug the drain hole on the bottom. I just placed a piece of black electrical tape over it.

With a pound of beads and some trays, mine has been rock steady at 66/66.

I got mine Yesterday... I quickly falling down the slope. I've never owned a Humidor in my life. Keeping my smokes in large travel humi till i have beads and shelves in the Vino.

Picked mine up 20 minutes ago


I had a bit of a hassle getting the thing into my Mustang but it fit and I'm about to start cleaning out the plastic smell.

Gotta tell ya, I've been waffeling like mad on these. I was just in denial about having slipped so far down the slope, so quickly. About five months ago, I get a 50 stick humi when a friend on another forum bombed me badly. Month later that was pitifully small, and I snagged a "125" stick box. Then I joined up here. Oops. About a month ago, I set up a coolidor, then bought a larger one a couple weeks later. Then - shilala's beads for everyone.

I just couldn't face the truth of it.

Then on the way home today, I decided to get one. Next step, was getting the idea past my wife. Trying to sort out the best way to do it, I just decided to act like it was perfectly normal to buy a wine cooler to convert into a humidor.

Me: "Hon - I need your car to go to Target" (I've got a small econo-box)

She: "???"

Me: "They have a good sale on the 28 bottle Vinotemps and I want to get one for my stogies."

She: "???"

Me: "I think it's largish"

She: "Ahhh - you need the cargo room. Ok"

Me: "!!!"

She: "Oh - I have a $10 gift card there that I'll never use. You may as well."

Me: "Okthanks.I'mgoingtocallthemrightnowandseeiftheyha veanyinstock"

-----

So I called the closest Target. Got the guy from appliances on the line and yea they had one. One. He also pointed out they've been marked down .....

***-> BECAUSE THEY ARE BEING DISCONTINUED <-***

He put it on hold for me and I was there in less than 10 minutes.


I sure hope the guy at Target was wrong about why they're marked down.

------
Don't really have the time tonight to clean it out. I took out the racks and plugged it in and it's sitting there at 66F. I put a bowl of baking soda inside to soak up some of the stink and I'll just leave that in till tomorrow some time. Speaking of tomorrow, probably a good time to hit Woodcraft for some shelving. Got 1.5 lbs of shilala's beads and an Oust fan in the coolidor, waiting till the smell's out, and the shelves are ready.

Oh ... and the wife just said "Well ... that looks a lot nicer than that ratty old cooler you've been using."

Well, I just became the proud owner of a 28 bottle vino. I have been on the road for work all week and today while I was working in the home office, the wife came in and said she had something for me. She bought the vino for me on sale at Target, the last one they had.....

[chenvt]

Man F me... I'm going to Target tomorrow.. especially if they're going to stop carrying these and sell some more expensive model
