I have a cigar oasis, and use some of the jarred stuff that sells on cbid (I think similar to climmax) I had to leave before I really saw the results of the huidificatin gel/beads, but they both seem pretty good! you DO have to keep alert on the water level with the cigar oasis, it can run dry with no overt indication except the fan (which is REALLY quiet) wont ever shut off.
