NEw HUmi!!

[apaniagua]

So I got my New Humidor from FireDoc (thanks bro) and it is great. Seal is perfect and it's just what I need (more than I have according to tips hehehe). It is my second humidor, since the other one didnt have the seal quite well (Fixing that so I can use it to age and this one for show and "to-go humi")

Here it is:




It was pre-seasoned but because of shipping I wanted to see what humidity it had. So I put my Caliber III inside and read 50% and started to drop to 40%. So now I have it with 3 water pillow packets to see how much it goes up...I'm still waiting my HCMBeads to control humidity. Sadly my Oustfan doesn't fit inside the humi

Any tips guys?

Cool. Make sure you post pics once stocked.

I've seen other guys mod their fans to fit, but with the size of your humidor the beads should be ok. I use a similar humi for our infused (flavored) cigars and from the top to the bottom (I have 2 hydrometers in there) there is about a 2% difference between them - 70% on the bottom and 68% on the top and this may be due to calibration so you should be good with the beads.

Will do

Hmm, I'll try to see the difference between the bottom and top

UPDATE:

So guys, I received my beads but i'm huge issues trying to keep humidity stable with the HCMBeads. I know they work great cuz some of my friends use it (they live in the US) but they are having a hard job in my country.

Here's the thing: My temps are usually between 24c and 27c or 75f-80f. Regular Humidity is crazy...from 70% to 85%. My room it's kinda stable between 70 and 80% lol...So, beads were suppose to be pre-conditioned to 65%. They were working at 72% according to both of my hygros (calibrated of course, but thats another issue lol), inside my Lock&Lock container. I put them in the freezer for 24 min, like the instructions said, and it dropped to 66% for like 2 hours and then went up again to 71%. The website says we should wait "days, weeks and even a month" to let them get to work...but they are suppose to be faster than HFbeads, right? Why so long? I'm confused.

EDITED: I'm trying what Michael told me, about putting it in the fridge, instead of freezer. I'll let you guys know.
