The little electro coolers that plug into your car ligher are also thermoelectric and will work well. Most do not have a thermostat, but you can get AC power adaptors and they do work.
Temp problem
- Thread starter ECPrevatte
- Start date
My car was recently broken into, so a lot of my money going to replace what insurance didn't give me. Again, I am in a college dorm room, so I would love to have a 28 bottle count, but room is really tight.
I just don't think I would be utilizing the space that something that large would have to offer.

Get the measurements of that little vinotemp and hit up MTmouse and custom shelves. Another option is if you are handy get a cooler and drill into it and put a cooling device.
Kinda like what they've done here.

I would easily go with the vinotemp before just ghetto-rigging AC units in my humidor. If I would have known how hard the temp situation was, I would have gone straight for a vinotemp.
I think that you will need some type of thermostat control for this. These type of coolers can get a little to cool for storing cigars.
74~75 degrees what is the problem here? :dunno: If you have issues thinking tobacco beetles might hatch, freeze your sticks first.
Also try not to have your sticks directly next to the beads like that. Give it a little bit of space.

I took the tube out, yesterday. I replaced it with a mesh bag of beads, and it is no longer located there.
Freezing the sticks, just seems like such a long process. If I must, I will. I would rather pick up the small 6 vinotemp though, which I will order later tonight/tomorrow if I can confirm shelves can be made to fit this small one.

MTmouse can make them, I sent him a PM and he just asked for the measurements and it less than 2 weeks from the time I placed my order until they arrived.
Just sent him a PM. Waiting on his reply. And then I should be ordering this vinotemp.
Ah don't mess around with the little ones. Honestly if you are going to mess around with a little 12 or 6 bottle. Save some cash up over another month or so and just buy the 28 bottle win cooler. In the long run you will be happier in the long run. I friggin love mine. I bought mine right at Target for $150.00
I'm in college! Maybe you were gifted with big living quarters.
Again, I would love to have a big one. Dorm room=no room. My desktop was already getting in the way, anything bigger would quite possibly annoy my roommate, and leave my limited space even more cramped.
In a few years when I know I can justify a purchase for something that big I will.
The small vinotemp will do just fine. Prior to two weeks ago I didn't have a humidor bigger than my cheap 20-25 ct. The 100 works fine and is only half full. So anything bigger is just a waste.

I agree when you are settled buy the biggest thing you can afford. I myself as a graduate student need to be portable, I still have maybe 3 big moves a head of me. For instance I thought I was going to stay where I am at to finish my Ph.D. as it turned out I will be moving to Texas, after that I have a post-doc and then who ever wants to hire a cigar smoking professor. Taking something so big would be cumbersome, it's the exact same reason I don't own a TV or a desktop computer.

Fixed. :bouncetauOk everybody relax.eace: Same tag team her bro.
I might have my own place in a year or two, where I can put something bigger in. When I get a chance I will. Until then, small will work.
I'm hoping maybe I can just fit my humidor in the small vinotemp for a little while.
For the time being. I added a small ice puck thing in a plastic bag. I have a couple, and can easily rotate them for the time being.
I'm sorry bro, I didn't know you were dealing with space restrictions. I never went to college other than to get my Associates Degree. Didn't mean to offend in any way.
Oh by no way was I trying to sound upset. I just said it on page two. Haha, just my dorm room is tiny, and make you stay in them Freshman year. For the time being something that could hold roughly 100 cigars, and be the same size would be great. That small 6 bottle one is perfect. If I can remove all the racks my humidor I believe could actually fit inside it. What I meant by gifted by big quarters, is that some colleges have bigger rooms. Baylor isn't that lucky we just have average dorm rooms. At University of Texas where my brother is at, he had a huge dorm room.
I ordered it, and the guy is in Austin actually so that helps. I just need two shelves and I am good to go.
Thanks for all the help guys. Just sad I can't use my new humidor.
