Pictures of the college Vintemp

[ECPrevatte]

First, I would like to thank everyone who helped me in my other thread about the temperature problem I was having, it lead me to a better solution, and very inexpensive.

My humidor, wouldn't stay at a constant temp. It would bounce from 70 all the way to 75.6 degrees depending on the time of day. I moved it all around trying to fix it. Away from windows, on the ground, near an air conditioning unit, and more.

I finally had someone just say get a vinotemp. When I was looking at them they would be too big for my college dorm room. So for the time being (Year or so) I needed something small that would just simulate my 100 CT humidor.

This is what I have:

The total cost: $25.00 and was brand new. It was not a scratch and dent either.

I just got it in, so I have to measure the wire trays and order some new trays from one of the few people who make them. I know the cigars are messy in there, I will clean them up when I get a chance.

Looks great!

Knowing how small a dorm room can be, looks like you made the most of the space available. Looks great.

 

[Hardcore]

Looks like problem solved!

 

[Donk]

Good work bro, even have a cedar tray for aroma! good going!

Bloody neat solution,mate! Only thing I'd suggest when it gets fuller is try and straighten the sticks a tad, it fits more. :thumbsup:

As a college student I definitely understand how it can be, and I'd say you made the best of it my friend!

If you're really broke and don't wanna spend a ton of money on shelves (which will likely cost twice-as-much-or-more than the entire cooler did) you could just go to a local cigar store and buy a few empty boxes...which should be somewhere between FREE and a couple bucks each.

Depending on size/shape, you could probably get 6-8 boxes in there.

MUCH, MUCH cheaper than shelves.

Yeah, I don't know what to do with a few because they are so long. Should I leave them on top of other sticks or put them to the right where they are not sitting in the cedar tray? It is just temporary until I get some trays/drawers in.

Thanks. Just got to get ride of this 100 ct humidor.

I understand, but I can buy shelves once I sell this humidor or next week when a new paycheck is dropped into my account. I just didn't want to spend 100 bucks on a big vinotemp. Then have to spend more on shelves. But they do take some time to build so I might go pick up some boxes.
