Popular Post Ford2112 Posted December 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2021 I wasn't really set on whether to get one of these but I found a good deal on Craigslist so I sprung for this . The guy put all these maple front custom Spanish cedar shelves in it. It's pretty nice. The lighting in these things suck so I wired in some led strip lighting I got at Home Depot ,remote controllable I have a large tube of heartfelt 65% beads in the bottom and 65% Boveda packs scattered about. I am aiming for 64° F and 65% RH. Let the games begin. Also I am proud of my Jeff the shark Smardjia snow globe lol. Have a bunch of 1/4 boxes and 4 or so regular boxes of ccs from 24:24 en route to fill this fellow out. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford2112 Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 Update: The guy who sold me this had the RH up above 70 when I got it so I am removing some of that to stabilize it with Damprid. I am also monitoring the RH in my place so I can make an assessment there as well. This thing probably isn't 100% airtight. I also removed one of the drawers. I plan on removing another once the boxes start rolling in! Target goal for me is around 64/65 but I know better than to not be flexible here. I will update in a couple weeks. I have read a lot about the cons of having a wineador for long term storage but I really like this thing. I have it unplugged for now as my temps in my house are around 65 right now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful with the damprid. I've use to use that in my gunsafe. Mine had a fragrance to it, not sure if that will alter anything. Looks like your just up the coast from me. I'm here in SoCal, 3min from the water. My little NewAir is perfect now. It stays at 64/64-65 unpluged during the winter time. When I first started and over seasoned the cedar shelves with distilled water, I just opened the door to correct. I think our climate and humidity are similar. Monterey/Redondo? Pretty arid here still even though we are close to water. Oh and btw, I'm currently shopping and researching for a vault cabinet style humidor. I've since overflowed into a pelican cooler, lol.

Ford2112 Posted December 8, 2021 Author Share Posted December 8, 2021 Thanks for the tips! The damprid I bought is fragrance free. Got my humidor sitting at 64/63 at the moment. I ordered a pound and a half of heartfelt beads. Those should arrive any day now. Yeah I bet our humidity is close. My place sits at around 60% right now. I will toss in a couple boveda packs . Got the unit unplugged for now as well. 👍 9 hours ago, el chino said: Oh and btw, I'm currently shopping and researching for a vault cabinet style humidor.

Where I live lacks the space to fit a cabinet as of now. I have too many records and books. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
