Any thoughts on these humidifiers? I am considering buying a couple of the PSH-3 models for a 250 cigar humidor. I've had no luck with the electronic systems and have tried the beads but didn't really care for those. I've read that the Paradigms are supposed to be top-notch but who knows! I'm also thinking of using some Boveda packs in conjuction with the Paradigms.

Did you buy the good beads? You know from H.I.? Those are all you will ever need for a humi that size.

Yes, I had the HI beads AND I followed instructions...ok for a while but I could never balance the RH!

Sounds like your humidor is leaking / not sealing.

i've got a 1915 Thompson 400 cigar humidor and a no-brand very nice 100 ct desktop humidor. I think in retrospect, that they are both Chinese made, allegedly out of cedar wood. Neither is lined with Spanish cedar. Perhaps this is the problem.

Ditch the desktops and get a cooler.

+1! 👍

Less fuss than a desktop.
