First Humi, Part Duex

kcdeadmoney · 01-07-2014, 11:53 AM

So a few weeks ago I posted a pic of the humidor my parents got me for Christmas ( wasn't aware of the empty humi thing, lol). So I got her seasoned and figured I would post a not empty pic!

One thing I noticed, initially I tried to season with the Boveda 1-step seasoning packet that it came with (84%rh), this was not enough. Within a week the packet was granular and the rh started to drop. So if anyone tries the Boveda seasoning method, in my experience, more than one packet will probably be required. I finished the seasoning with distilled water.

Best of luck Jim

I doubt you could ever do a first seasoning with a packet, bowl of distilled water for a few weeks, congrats

According to Boveda, it is supposed to work, but even a newbie like me was a little suspect.

You'll be needing something bigger in no time.

Looks good, man.

equetefue · 01-07-2014, 01:24 PM

If your parents only knew what they have started. Looks great !

Remo · 01-07-2014, 02:31 PM

I am actually reseasoning my desk top at the moment as I have moved back into my cooler, figured good time for some maintenance

equetefue · 01-07-2014, 02:37 PM

I think I went from a 20-count to a 50 then a 100 in about six months, then from using both the 50 and 100 to a wineador about nine months after that.

DMK · 01-07-2014, 05:32 PM

Just buy a cooler....... or two....

equetefue · 01-07-2014, 05:34 PM

25 -> 100 -> 150 -> full out cabinet 72" tall.

This is bad !!

MrClean · 01-07-2014, 06:16 PM

Nice Jim! And yes, start looking at coolers for storage or a 250ct Treasure Dome is pretty good and reasonably priced. Regardless, it's rarely enough space

50ct desktop -> 150qt Marine Cooler. And guess what? In 2 years, I'm just about out of room.

big_jaygee · 01-07-2014, 06:56 PM

Bigger is always better.

50>100>2x100>2x100&50>12 bottle>16 bottle>28 bottle & 48 qt cooler & a locker at my B&M.

a very steep slope indeed

i hope you have fun every step of the way my friend

jhedrick83 · 01-07-2014, 07:00 PM

I'm guessing you parents want you to go broke!

I would add in the slippery slope smiley, but for some of us it was more of falling off a cliff. Enjoy!
