Anyone know if this same procedure is possible with the Humicare Electronic Humidifier? Or if this product is comparable to the Cigar Oasis? They seem to be very similar. Which is the better product, in your opinion?

s15driftking,
can you give us an update to your re-upped oasis after about a month and a half of use? is the humidity holding steady? have you had to add water and/or beads since the first fill?

the RH was staying steady at 66% for a month and all of a sudden dropped to 60% in the last week. It was also the start of the real snowy weather here in Columbus.

So i added some PG to help "wet" things and we were back up to 66%.

BUT, today i transitioned everything into a vino and i put the Oasis in there yesterday at 8pm and its holding at 85% right now obviously because the wood wont allow for real soaking or fluctuation.

So, i turned the Oasis from "full blast" (whcih it needed in the humidor) to "lowest possible" setting and threw some heartfelt 65% beads in there to help bring down the RH... now its right at 69%

More to come.

Excellent work, but I don't have your ambition. I use a pound of Heartfelt beads and a CO XL Plus in my 5 cu. ft. cabinet. I don't ever recharge the CO, I just use it for the fan. The beads keep the cabinet at a constant 68-69% Rh.
