Default Re: Mist in my B&M Walk-in

Mist variety humidifiers are cheaper than quality evaporative humidifiers. They also do a much better job of adjusting the overall humidity for frequent "in and out " traffic, however they fail miserably at keeping cigars smokable because everything is WET. Basically it's a saturation device, which does the job of the several more expensive devices needed for evaporative. But because all of that humidity is released all at once, cigars closer to the device get soaked.

Properly tuned, they work relatively well, the key is setting multiple devices to gust at around 65% to prevent cigars from getting too wet.
