I personally ditched the Hydra unit and went with heartfelt beads from heartfelt industries @ 65% .. The hygro on the hydra was totally off on mine.

I'm always up for better and good suggestion.. I'll look into and will probably bug Paul in the near future if he doesn't mind :)

My digital timer has 8 settings (on/off), therefore I divided 24hr/8 and that's where I got every 3 hours. The habanos sticker is from eBay. If you can't find it, send me a pm and I'll send you a link. ;)

Lol exactly how I'm feeling..

Very kind, I appreciate that..

Thanks for all your help bro!

Ok another update here.. While the Hydra unit was a good experience I couldn't just live with it and my RH was jumping up and down and I got tired of tinkering with it. Plus I have too many boxes and I need the space. testing out the beads/crystal method and seeing where this will take me. Here...

But you have to season those shelves in the cooler when they come in and I'd suggest not having your boxes/ cigars in there during this period. What I did is use a cooler chest and put my boxes in there with a Xikar humidifer to keep them in a maintained humidity while the seasoning stage is done.

I hear it takes 6-8 weeks for those custom shelves.

So your issue is with temperature? Or humidity?

I actually finished a recent project which is small antique box that I turned into a desktop humidor for my weekly smoke. I did this just to avoid opening my Wineador often.

We are on the same page sir. What I meant is that they were not adjustable.;)

That makes more sense now... I did switch my hygrometers around. I place the one in the drawer on the middle shelf and it went up to 66 while my middle shelf hygrometer inside a drawer and it went up to 67. It looks like my drawers are less by 1-2% plus those small hygrometers are a bit off as...

That's a good idea and won't hurt.

The drawers are empty .. There is air slots on the bottom of the drawers .. One of the drawers is right above the humidifier .. I ordered an additional plug in fan for the Hydra. We'll see if that helps. I'm also thinking of throwing my middle hygrometer in the drawers and monitoring that as well.
