Anyone have the capacity handy? Anyone ever use for a small walk in humidor?

Its a 1.5 Gallon (see BestBuy site for details). My use is in my bedroom (winter only - in New England) to bump up the humidity from around 30% RH to around 55% RH. The size of my room is around 150 sq. ft.

It definitly is not a small humifier, similar size to 4 gallon jugs of water laid on their side and stacked up (odd comparison I realize)

Did you ever find an answer to your running and podast proble,? I also have the same problem. Can't find anything small enough to run with but can still carry my podcasts.

I use three of them in addition to the humidifier that came with my humidor. I try to obtain 70% humidity..... With that being said, I was given a larger humidor recently. The humidifier that came with it plus the three drymistat humidifiers would only raise the humidity to 62%. So, I ordered yesterday this in hopes it will help raise the humidity..... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000PUWHJC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Good luck!

Hi John; sorry to hear about your problem. I suspect, that you have a humidor; with a larger capacity. In my humidor, with a capacity of 150 cigars; I have four of these and my humidity is between 68 and 70%. A second thought; was to ask, if you replaced the shipping caps with the perforated ones supplied. I have had guys ask, why I broke the seal on the caps. You have to, to put on the perforated caps. Moisture is supposed to pass through the tubes' body; but I suspect most of the moisture passes out, through the perforated caps. I don't know if my comments will help; but I sure hope they will. Let me know, if you can. George Hi John; sorry to hear about your problem. I suspect, that you have a humidor; with a larger capacity.

It does the same for me as well. Since I use it nearly daily it isn't as much of a problem for me. I find that I have to fill it weekly to get consistent fire. I'm sure the environment you store it in will effect the evaporation as well, I'm currently experimenting with this as I store both my Zippos and my misc pipe/cigar tools in a small sealed kitchen jar my wife donated to the cause. So far good results.

If they are storage ottomans, I stumbled across another website that suggested leaving the silica gel packets inside to absorb moisture and odors. I threw mine out out, so I'll be looking around town for some tomorrow. I'll let you know if it works!

Drymistat will last, according to my estimate, around 3 years or more, mine has been in my cigar box for about 8 months and I filled it up with distilled water only once, when I bought it. I will have to add water to gel beads in about 4 months. I am not a heavy smoker, I use a Drymistat tube for my Xicar travel case designed for up to 5 cigars max. So if you have a bigger cigar box you may need several units depending on dimension of the box and frequency of use and rotation to keep a 70% moisture inside your cigar box. An important factor to consider is hermeticism, how tight is the closure of the box you use to keep the moisture inside.

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 just checked mine they go from zero to 99.9%. I just a note mine is in a 150 count humidor and I have to keep it set at 68% to achieve 70% not a big deal though. Had mine for few few months now with no complaints.

Yes, there is plenty room for that. I thought I would do the same however, I really haven't felt the need for the humidifier.

I am sorry, but I cannot factually answer this question, because I used my own in a cigar humidor

I have it in my bachelor pad/man cave and I smoke cigars on it everyday...so far, it's held up to everything I've thrown at it. Great quality!

Nope. It's not a cigar holder - it's a humidor humidifier. I use it alongside my cigars to keep them at the proper humidity.

First did you calibrated the gauge? It will take a few days for it to settle. Do not put any cigars in it until You are done seasoning it. I would also recommend a digital gauge. It's very dry in my house right know due to the heater running so I add extra humicare packs to mine, but this summer I won't need them.

10-1/4" W X 8-3/4" D X 4-1/4" H. These are the outside dimensions. I can tell you that I love it! This is exactly the kind of humidor I was looking for. It's not a huge but, I can easily keep 30-40 cigars in it, and that's with my automatic humidifier (Cigar Oasis Ultra) inside. This keeps it at a perfect 70% humidity.
