set a shot glass of distilled water in it for about a week (undisturbed), and hit up shilala (on here) for some beads...he's easy to find, read his instructions and youre ready to go.

Re: I odnt have a hygormeter
For as un-accurate as those analog hygros that come with humidors are, you aren't missing much.

Pick up digital one.

Heartfelt, Taboo, Cigarmony, etc.

Re: I odnt have a hygormeter
take that black hockey puck out and use it as a doorstop.....order some beads from shilala, the beads ARE your humidifier.....order a digital hygrometer on ebay or at your local cigar shop.

Re: I odnt have a hygormeter
The short answer is Propylene Glycol 50/50 solution for the humidifier and get yourself a digital hygrometer. We also discussed "beads" in our last conversation, and I believe I gave you some good sources in pm.

We are all here to help, but please take your time and look around this site. There is alot of information around here that will guide you in getting it right.

Re: I odnt have a hygormeter
One of the local B&M's here in Vancouver told me - don't waste time or money on a hygrometer - they are terribly innacurate anyway.

Kind of put me off the place - there seems to be much wisdom in having SOME way of measuring humdity.

I don't thing digitals are innacurrate, but I do agree that for a small humi you don't need one. If the cigars are too most, lower the humidity. If they are too dry raise it.
You don't need one

Re: I odnt have a hygormeter
No it dosnt mater but it could mater if you don't get one and put it in there. Once you keep sticks in there you want to make sure the temp is right.

Re: I odnt have a hygormeter
beads + digital hygrometer = perfect, fool proof setup
