OK, so we all know rick likes to use a soap dish, but I have my own container i like to use for oasis foam humidifiers:

Altoid Tins.

just drill holes in the lid, then cut foam to fit, leaving a little room on either end for circulation, but make the sides fit snug so the foam stays in.


what do you like to use?

The advantage of the soap dish or a tupperware type container is that it is (a) larger in capacity than the altoid tin and therefore affords a more maintenance-free unit and (b) substantially less prone to deterioration and subsequent leakage than a metal container ...

I use pseudo-tupperware containers from the cheap "dollar store" around the corner. They cost me a whopping 79 cents a piece, florist foam not included.

Not only that, but who wants a rusting minty fresh piece of metal in their humidor?

Get that thing outta there!

2" PVC pipe with slots/holes works well and you can get 2" PVC clamps for mounting. Acitate cleans it up nicely.

I like sandwich size tupperware containers, slim enough not to take up a lot of room, yet big enough to do the job.

For my aquarium humidors I like to use VHS tape boxes with slot routed or holes drilled in one side. One foam brick will make three large humidifiers.
