Default Re: Best Cigar Oasis Model For Vinotemp?

That way it can breathe and the fan will pick the water back up and give it back to your beads.
If your vino is running constantly, it's gonna happen (the water pooling).
It needs to be kept in a cool spot with an ambient temp of less than 75 degrees F.
Otherwise, you're fighting a losing battle.
Vinos aren't meant to be used in hot places, and if they are in a hot place, they'll run constantly and create the exact condition you explained.
The cigar oasis is just making the problem worse by constantly feeding water to the air while the evaporator (cooling plate) is taking it out.
Thanks for the excellent info Shilala... Here is the kicker... The humidity in my vino is not above 65% anywhere yet water still pools at the bottom... I am baffled as to why this happens. I have placed two hygros at the bottom (58% rH) and one at the top (49% rH) This baffles me because i thought humidity rises?.. I just orderd a series of fans which i plan to run in the humidor to get proper air circulation. I am banking that this will be the solution to my problem because I have been having issues with humidity ever since the summer started. This makes sense considering that my Vino is now on unlike the winter where it remains off and the humidity remains at appropriate levels.
