What is the recommended placement for the humidifier? On the Humidor lid or on the bottom of the box?

The problem is that if you put it on the bottom it takes up room, if you put it on the top it tends to fall off; good luck.

I can only speak for myself, but the humidor I have is glass topped and would not look good with this unit stuck to the top. It does come with a peel-n-stick back, but I keep it partitioned off in the corner just laying on it's back on the bottom of the humidor away from my stogies.

the preferable placement for small humidifiers is on the inside lid of the box for best circulation of moisture.

Actually I have mine on wall of the box, which has been working fine. I just fill it with water or the cigar solution u can buy, shake it out a bit, then stick it to back of the box.

Usually on the lid but if you over fill it, it will drip down on the cigars so I keep it on the bottom

Always place humidifier on a firm, flat, level surface. A waterproof mat or pad is recommended for use under the humidifier. We do not recommend placing it on a rug or carpet, or on a finished floor.

You should be able to push it out from the inside of the humidor. It does not screw in or anything like that.

Unfortunately, while this is a decent humidifier, what you mentioned is an annoying problem with it. I have bought two and have the same problem.

The humidifier does need to be "installed." Just peel of the adhesive cover and stick it to the inner lid and you're ready to go!

The product I purchased did no have the humidifier option so I am unable to assist. Sorry.

I sat the box both ways. The horizontal position works better for us. The vertical position lets the tea bags fall when you pull one out. We prefer ours horizontal. Hope this helps. Have a nice weekend.

We put the narrow opening on the bottom. Personally I don't think it matters. It's personal preference. When installing, it's up to you to butter the tiles so they angle down to let the water run off. Also, make sure you "box frame" all around the niche and screw it in securely. you don't want your tiles to shift after the thin set dries. Hope this helps.

That doesn't matter really. You want to keep your cigars at right aroun 70% him itty which is the moisture level from the cigar factory. I've keep mine between 68% and 72%. I've seen no difference either up or down. Mine actually broke after 5 years (pretty good 24/7) and I didn't realize it til weeks later. Cigars were still perfect! And they were $300/box Cubans.

The reservoir fills from the bottom, but it actually does not matter, because it can be very easily removed. It also stands well on flat surfaces, so you can put it down while it's filling up. I have two different humidifiers and this one beats them all.

Brandon, congrats on your humidor! I bought mine about a year ago and still love it. I found a few videos on youtube to help season and calibrate the hydrometer. Here is what I felt was the best. http://youtu.be/PnZukYgXUKw Just remember to use distilled water and do not soak the wood. I do soak the humidifier every month or so in the distilled water.

Go to http://www.essickair.com/products/humidifiers/category/whole-house/697-500/ That is the company that makes this. They have a link on the right hand side of the page as you scroll down that says owners manual.

I would recommend buying a separate DIGITAL hygrometer to keep inside the humidor. The built in one that comes with most humidors are not very accurate. I would also recommend buying some of the Drymistat (or other similar) humidifiers and use those instead of the sponge sticks that come with the unit. They are easier to maintain, reliable and provide consistency in my opinion. Depending on your location, ambient humidity levels in the surrounding air, you may need two. Also make sure you season your humidor first before putting any cigars in it. There are some good videos on YouTube on how to do this.

I can only speak from experience but I keep mine in the heavy duty zip lock bag they arrived in when I bought them. They are kept in a kitchen cabinet which is mostly cool and dark. This has worked just fine for me-humidipacs are same as when purchased.

There is an on and off switch next to where the cord goes into the humidifier. I hope this is helpful .

Just one should do the trick. The humidor should be seasoned first. The cigars can be rehydrated after.
