So, I've been doing some research and looking at all the threads and pretty pics of owners. So I was stupid when I invested in my "Tower Of Power" and did not save up the rest of the funds to get an Aristocrat as I was advised by @icehog3 and a few other botl's, again I was stupid and impatient. I have regretted it these past couple of years. The craftsmanship on mine is not the best (China made, so yeah.....i've also talked to and heard from other TOP owners who are no longer happy with their investment) I have had issues with the seal going on 2 years now, I've tried re-seasoning, weather stripping, adding fans, different humidification systems, you name it.....only to fall back in to panic mode with my lovely sticks.....they smoke fine, and maybe I am just being paranoid, but lately I cannot keep the humidity regular.
I've been kicking around the idea of selling it, and getting an Aristocrat......NOW this this not something that will happen this weekend, I have some debts that I am working on 1st that will clear up extra funds, so this probably wouldn't happen until end of the year, beginning of next or maybe even a nice bday present to myself on my 50th next year.
Anyway, I want to hear from you, do I or don't I? I say yes, but I want to hear from you. Also I am not what you would call a handyman, I get confused just measuring things, so some of you will suggest I call Bob and talk to him, but i'm not confident enough to talk "manly" things.
So I was wondering if you could tell me what I should ask for.
I am thinking I would need something like this
http://www.aristocrathumidors.com/aristocrat-MxtPlus.html with a Set & Forget it system
But I'm at a loss and could use some guidance..........what would you have done differently? How's it holding up? Have you outgrown it? I have a LOT of singles, so I am looking at a couple of single drawers as well.
also if you could tell me which unit (or units) you have and include pics that would be great *insert Lumbergh pic here*
Sorry if this is a garbled mess, I'm just typing as i'm coming up with shit, if you need more clarification don't be afraid to yell at me.
Thanks
