I only open my humi once or twice a day.

at the moment I am setting up my Humi.

so it's staying closed until saturday night. hopefully set up properly.

That one, I have been sticking to already.

What got me was, all of the things I have read elsewhere suggested a 70/70. And well, that is what I have been going by, up until now. It has been averaging 68/73, which I thought was ok. Now, I am going to let the humidity drop a bit and keep it lower.

yeah it get's upwords to `85-90 in my room so should the humi be around 60?

That's way too hot. Not sure you can keep the humidity high enough to keep them from drying out but still keep the bugs n mold away. My best suggestion is to move your humi to a cooler spot if at all possible.

If not, i would invest in a wine cooler conversion. I have seen guys get them pretty cheap ($150 total conversion & cooler). That way you can set both the temp and humidity.

65% (or 60%) beads are your friend!!!! Google heartfelt.

Not too sure ma man.

I am a noob myself, but has spent wayyy too much time in this place the past 3 days. lol

I am just trying to soak up all the knowledge here myself.

Me too, thats why I hope one of these FOG's🌫 can answer it for me.

Thanks!

And done. 😄

DAM YOU SCOOBA STEVE!!!

See post 25.

I believe that I recall reading about people having trouble keeping the humidity stable in converted wine coolers. I'm not sure that this is true with all wine frigs (and I believe it has to do with the type of cooling element.) Sorry I don't have more info and it has been a while since I read about this potential problem.

YMMV

Buckwheat is correct, it is very difficult to keep the RH or even temp stable on the wine coolers. The only way to help is use the wine cooler and store all cigars in cedar box as well, the box acts as humidifier and insulator from the quick change of RH and Temp. When I original ran my, the temp change was over 10 degrees in open air and rh change was 20, with gauge inside the boxes, the difference was one a couple of rh and degrees. Oh using beads along with a humidifier also help to take out the extra moisture after the unit stops.

Brilliant. =d>

And the direction that I am heading. The KISS method always seems to work out better.

And sorry I did miss post 25 and thank you for the answer.

I have to fine a way to keep the heat down. I might pick up a AC Window unit.
