This is PG that is used in cigar humidors. From what I understand, you best use PG only in your first humidor charge, then use distilled water to top that once you need to, do that twice, then go back and top with PG the third time, then go back to distilled water, and so forth.

Yes but it won't evaporate so repeated use ends up concentrating it in whatever sponge media you're using. A popular formula is 50% for the first application and then use a 10% solution thereafter so you're only replacing the PG that has broken down. For non sponge media such as water gels, just start with a 10% solution and the PG will remain on the surface to protect against molds.

Yes, a 50-50 mixture of propylene gylcol and distilled water is what most cigar stores typically sell as their humidification solution.

I used tap water that runs through my undersink water filter. That keeps most of the hard water minerals out which can cause a problem of buildup inside the humidifier.

Add water. Shake it up. I've only done it once. I have a disc humidifier now.

Yes, this is 100% pure top grade PG. It can be used for humidors, drug stabilizers, vaporizers and many many more uses.like you said be sure to do a 50/50 ratio with distilled water

I would not use it as a humidifier. While it does put a small amount of water into the air, the real purpose is to diffuse essential oils. We live in Utah (a high mountain desert) and in the winter use a humidifier as well as our diffuser. If your intent is to add moisture to the air, I would get a humidifier. However, some people will use the humidifier and place Vicks in the reservoir to help with breathing. If that's your intent, then this diffuser and essential oils will work much, much, much better.

I have purchased two of these, one for each of my humidors. They are fantastic! Never had a problem. Use distiller water in them.

I'm sure it would be. Rather than the expensive water treatment supplements I use vinegar. Get it. The humidifier is wonderful.

My initial reaction would be to say no. It's really about keeping the insides of your humidifier clean and muck-free. It significantly reduced the amount of slime that accumulates in the water laden areas of the machine. It will also extend the practical use of the wick filter, but dust I is a different matter.

The instructions do not specify to use distilled water. I use cool tap water. Definitely need to clean according to instructions. I am very happy with this humidifier.

I have stored boxes of cigars in coolers before and have found that they are easy to humidify. I would think this will work well.

It is NOT premixed. You will need to add the same volume of distiller water.

Someone wana test or mail me a packet to test? :) We cigar smokers use silica beads to maintain humidity in our humidors. When you soak them they release humidity and helps maintain a humidor at 65-70% relative humidity.

The gentleman that started they didn't work either didn't season his humidor correctly or used tap or bottled water. Only use distilled water. I even made my own drilling holes in the cap of cigar tubes. I also made another using a small airtight container I had lying around. You can buy a whole bag of crystals cheap online.

I don't know. I am not sure if you could put the liquid in cool mist humidifier. Every humidifier that i have seen always instructs you to put only water and preferred distilled water only. In my opinion, the liquid should only be used in the device that was designed for it. I feel that this Mosquito Sentry works as designed. My only complaint was the cost of the liquid, but it does make our outdoor living very bearable. For my wife and i to be outside in a New England late afternoon into the evening with mosquitos bitting us, it is worth the price. To put it into perspective, we have two of these devices for our large 16' x 34' deck. We have used about 8 gallons so far with no complaints. I don't know.

We use tap water and periodically follow the instructions to use vinegar to keep it working properly. Given the amount of water needed to fill it, I wouldn't spend the extra money to buy distilled water. We have quite a bit of calcium in our tap water and have not found it to be a problem with this humidifier. Hope this helps.

Yes, but it is RECOMMENDED that you use distilled water. We use distilled water.

As far as I know, distilled water is not necessary. I'm using regular bottled drinking water and it is still working just fine. About the white dust, I haven't feel any white dust yet. It might be because I've only used it for a few months.
