The prototype to the production model
For any of you out there who have read any of my posts reguarding the heating/cooling system I've developed for humidors will want to know I've finished with prototyping and the final product seems near. This was actually, for me, and easy project and I had the first prototype up and running in a matter of hours. Now I've refined the design a few times to make it more user friendly and compact. I came up with some new circuit designs I'm going to be adding that will trim down the system even more, but even since the begining it's been keeping valuable cigars at a constant 70 F. Today we had a mild heat wave where the temp rose to about 75 and the thing worked like a charm and brought the temp down to a beautiful 69.4. Anyway the system now has been trimmed down by a $100!!! I can now make and sell the unit for $150. This is not a sales pitch but a hand out to any BOTL who are interested. THere will need to be some minor skill on the part of the buyer to set up the unit. A 4" x 4" hole must be made to the back of the humidor,right now only for end table and small furniture humidors. I can make a unit for a tall standing humidor and I will quote per request. I am also making a small compact unit for table top humidor 20" x 13" x 13". But I have to still work out the thermastat situation as the unit itself is not that big and the thermastat itself takes up room. Anyway I will be posting pics this weekend.

Re: The prototype to the production model
That sounds awesome. If I only had the money to buy a nice wooden humidor that would work with your product...
 I am interested in seeing the pictures. |

Re: The prototype to the production model
I'm looking into a cooled endtable cabinet but the $$$ is big, and this sounds like a reasonable alternative. The miniature would be awesome too. Any updates?

Re: The prototype to the production model
Cartierusm Did you ever get the smaller one you were talking about made? I'd like to have something like that for my desktop humi.

Re: The prototype to the production model
Great work Carter!! Someday in the not too distant future I hope to get my cigars out of the basement and into a cabinet upstairs. And I know I'd definitely want some type of temp control.........
