Cabinet humidor seasoning and beads

[danreeve]

thanks for the advice. I have 5 bowls of distilled water in it (and a small cigar oasis just for the fan, I removed the green foam from the bottom of it) and after 2 days the top is reading 63 and the bottom is reading 68. But I haven't tested the bottom meter in a long time so I'm pretty sure it's off.

I figure I'd wait 7 days, then order my beads (that forces me to wait for them to arrive and keep seasoning) Then add my beads and cigars.

then do some dancing. But there will be no video or pictures of that.

That's exactly what I did with an old Oasis, but I added distilled water to it also for extra humidity and to cut down the seasoning time, did this for about a week. Be aware that when you add your cigars, the levels will change as they adjust to your humidor. Don't panic!!! Wait a few days, then add the beads.....wait a few more days, then adjust your humidifier.
