If you have a Sams Club around you the to sell 70Quart IGLOO Cooladors for $ 16.80 in Huntergreen just purchased one yesterday dedicated for all unopen Boxes, and its already full,just love it finally I stepped in the ownersclub of 1000gars and more .Amen

I forget to ask if anybody knows a Place to get bigger quantity of prophylene glycol than one pint at present i pay $ 8.88 per pint I appreciate any Info.Amen

www.chemistrystore.com ....take a look
1 quart is $7.50
1 gallon is $11.75
and 5 gallons is $56.10

For the real sticklers in the crowd, when making larger solutions please keep in mind that propylene glycol is slightly heavier than water.

Propylene Glycol is 8.61 pounds per gallon while water is 8.34 pounds per gallon. Therefore mixing 1 gallon of Propylene Glycol with 1 Gallon of water will give a 51% solution of propylene glycol.

Okay to show ya all how dumb I am why the mix?? Is it used in place of plain water in the Humidor.?? Dang I hate looking dumb.!!!! Thanks for answering.. Hiden in the corner watch'n every one bust a gut at me....cn

PG/distilled water 50-50 mix keeps the atmosphere in the humi near 70% RH. Releases water at less than 70%, sucks it up at more than 70%. PG also has a quality of fighting mold.

Cool that means I don't have to be checking all my humidors every few hour to keep in the 70% range,WOW I could handle that THANKS for the info..

Slim ty this 1 gallon is a realy good deal! Amen

Is 50/50 mix by volume or weight? X

I don't think the volume thing carries any weight 🙂 the louder my wife yells about my cigar capacity, the more I seem to buy. So it doesn't apparently have any correlation.

I thought that the description of 50/50 for mixing PG and water was a volume/volume description, not a mass/mass description. So one gal of 50/50 has equal parts (volume wise) of water and PG. The volume of PG would weigh more than the equal volume of water, but there would be a half gallon of each. I think that is how it goes anyway.

If you read my post above ... it explains it.

It by weight ... NOT volume!

tsk tsk tsk. cbid sells pg 50/50, and you mention another website that competes. why that's almost as bad as my indonesia site.

Ah yes...but cbid does not sell pure Propylene Glycol.

xibbumbero and calavera

you are both correct.

but, let's face reality, it doesn't matter that much. the humidity in the cigar does not have any effect on the cigars essence. it just changes how fast the cigar will burn, or if it is to wet, it won't.

people have been smoking cigars since adam and eve had their first fight about the danger of second hand smoke.

chalk humidifiers started in about the 20' or 30's with the slogan, "now you can buy them by the box"

i wasen't smoking cigars then, but i doubt that cigar stores had much in the way of humidifiers. if anyone remembers something different, i stand corrected.

Shame on you Rick we give you the tips about the Bad Frogs and this is the way you pay us Back, your're a Baad,Baaaaad Man! Amen

RICKAMAVEN --- CI/CB does NOT sell pure Polypropylene glycol ... and most definately not in thhe quantities that were asked about ...

... therefore, you stand corrected ... 😉

Besides ... if you do an archive search, there are over 180 threads on this subject, and I only copied and pasted the response to one of those threads that was already here ...

And, you say, "but, let's face reality, it doesn't matter that much. The humidity in the cigar does not have any effect on the cigars essence. It just changes how fast the cigar will burn, or if it is to wet, it won't."

That my friend, couldn't be farther from the truth ...the environment in which they are stored is crucial. Without the proper humidity, the aging process begins to be stunted.

And you also state that the humidity in the cigar does not have any effect on the cigars essence? Tell me the the 'essence' of the cigar will be the same if you smoke that dried out, hot buring, cracked wrappered cigar as compared to one properly humidified ...

Essence means , 'fundamental nature or QUALITY' ... and I don't think there is much quality to an old dried out cigar.

... even if that was the way that they were smoked in the 'old days', when folks we ignorant of many things, doesn't mean it was the correct way of doing it.

We've come a long way, baby ... now that we have learned how to make our lives richer ...

Heck ... in the old days, folks didn't have refrigeration, and cured their meat in salt. Does that mean we shouldn't refrigerate our food too???

... but, I digress.

"That my friend, couldn't be farther from the truth ...the environment in which they are stored is crucial. Without the proper humidity, the aging process begins to be stunted."

When he's right, he's right... And Oh, by the way, HE'S RIGHT!
