Hi all,
I suspect this question may be a little remedial in light of the considerable engineering talent on display here, but I'm hoping to draw on some of your experience before I commit to a purchase. I've got an Adorini Bari cabinet humidor that I've been using for the past couple of years. I've been using the 2 acryl polymer humidifiers that came with the unit, and they've worked fine holding the RH at 65% where I want it.
But as my humidor has filled up, I'm not getting any air circulation, and I'm noticing some inconsistency in my smokes lately. So I'm considering picking up the Cigar Heaven - 2nd generation electronic humidifier. The Bari is set up with a port to accommodate that particular unit, but I'm sure it would work with any electronic unit.

Do any of you folks have experience with the Cigar Heaven unit? I've seen that it's used in high-end Habanos humidors, so I suspect it's a good humidifier, but I have no idea how it stacks up against some of the less expensive alternatives like Cigar Spa or Cigar Oasis.
I've also noticed that some folks here build their own - is that because the commercial units are poor performers? Not worth the cost? Should I just dig into PigFish's archives and build one?
Any thought, suggestions or experience would be much appreciated!
