Current humidor readings

borndead1 · 03-25-2009, 11:48 AM

I don't think my temp/RH readings have ever been so close to each other among the humis.

Vinotemp #1: 68*, 64% humidity
Vinotemp #2: 69*, 64% humidity
100 count desktop: 68*, 64% humidity
Cooler: 69*, 63% humidity

Nice!

What are yooz guys reading?

Mine usually run fairly close to each other. Last night my cabinet was at 68/66rh. This time of year that is pretty typical for me.

Mugen910 · 03-25-2009, 11:55 AM

60/61 in my Vino

zmancbr · 03-25-2009, 11:59 AM

Mine were 68/68 and 68/69... I am thinking they might need to be calibrated again... damn hygros...

The 68/68 is in my Vino and it only has cigars and 65% beads lol... so how it is at 68% idk... I haven't added any new sticks latley and it is half way full so it should be plenty stable... but who knows lol... they will probably both read 64% tonight...

Right now my cooler is sitting at 67*/66%.

03-25-2009, 02:13 PM

I had a lb in each of my vino of 65% beads. I was reading 69 on both, so I pulled 1/2 beads out to dry out.

Mine have been rock solid for months both at 67% which is a shade higher than I want but I can live with it. All of a sudden they went to 70%. Room is about 57%.

????

I have had the door on both cracked all day to bring them down. I would really like to get them down to about 63%.

62% RH and 66F in my Aristocrat Mini with a pound of Heartfelt beads. The cigars smoke great.

150ct humi: 71F 65%RH
100ct humi: 69F 80%RH Don't worry guys its empty! I am in the middle of seasoning it.
25ct humi: 70F 65%RH

I know the extreme importance of RH but how much does temperature play into things?

The higher the temp, the chances of beetles hatching go up.

My hygros look like this:
68/63
68/64
68/66
68/61
68/63
68/63

BamBam · 03-25-2009, 05:28 PM

67 degrees and 66 RH

JJG · 03-25-2009, 06:13 PM

anyone else here living dangerously?

when my hygro's batteries ran out I just chucked it in a drawer. I have a small, airtight cooler w/beads and when I did have a hygro in it the RH never really changed much.

I have one cooler that I don't have a hygro in for those same reasons. After a while you can go by feel and tell if they are too wet or too dry.

ECPrevatte · 03-25-2009, 06:39 PM

65/65

Is that temp higher than usual for you? I usually notice with mine that if the temp creeps up a little bit, the rh usually does too. I use beads and an Oasis set at 65%. The closer the can gets to 70 the rh usually follows.

King James · 03-25-2009, 07:34 PM

66/63

cort · 03-25-2009, 07:53 PM
