Re-Upped my Cigar Oasis (picture intensive)

[s15driftking]

5.99 ice





Jewels






Side by side...



The Jewel... before.. .and after.



2.5 hours... Ready to go in the oasis. I put them in via a funnel i made from the handle of a gallon bottle.





All Done...




I'm bagging these up.




So yeah, i'm overall happy... i hope i did it correctly. ITs nice to know that it's only going to cost me a couple bucks a year to keep it up.

A word of caution... make sure to clean the cartridge thoroughly, make sure to clean it with hot soapy water.

Give the crystals (whichever ones you use) a couple of hours to fully puff out. you dont want to over fill the cartridge. Also, i know this...The round ones reqire a half tablespoon MAX! The cracked ice could use a "dash" more..

I understand the concept and your pics are great. But exactly how do you are you planning to regulate humidity? The Oasis will continue to add humidity, but without a regulating agent how will you keep a constant Rh if it rises above your set point(summertime)?

I've often thought about removing the foam in my Hydra and replacing it with some of the Heartfelt beads (I already have a bunch so why not?).

I've been using Super Absorbant Polymers from www.watersorb.com. for years. They look similiar to those you pictured and work better than the foam. I use them in Cigar Oasis, Hydra and my Set n Forget

Beads will not work as they do not hold enough water.

It should be no different the Oasis/Hydra will not turn on unless humidity drops below your set point just as with the foam.

That's what I've been using the past couple of months too. Cheap and they work great!
