New to the forum and new to having a humidor. So I took the Rectangular Humidifier that came with the humidor and soaked it in distilled water like the directions said. Well a month and half later I'm seeing white webbing(not the spider type) and in the corner of the rectangle has brown ish color :-& . Any one have any suggestions or idea with is going on in the humi? I have an Heartfelt beads in there too fyi.

thanks for the idea/suggestion.........that is what I was thinking but hate that I did everything right and am having problem(s). I'm liking having a fallback humidifier just for redundancy if you will.

I'm old school. I hate beads and crystal "gel".

Don't oversoak with distilled water any more.

Scrub that plastic humidifier with soap, rubbing alcohol, your mil's whisker's (I don't care) & get some florist foam to replace the contaminated stuff. Then dose with a 50/50 propylene glycol & distilled water mixture & then post on the proper board, ya attention- seeking, humi- wetting, anal bead crybaby.[gonzo]

PS: I must confess, I use some crystal gel but only because they were gifted to me. All in all, simple foam infused alternatively with 100% distilled and then alternated with a 50/50 propylene mixture as needed is the way I roll. The propylene glycol will prevent the foot fungus again.
