Puros Y Vino Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I have a "standard" 6 foot tall cabinet humidor with a Cigar Oasis XL II(not Ultra 1.0 as previously stated) The unit doesn't seem to behave the way it used to. I set it to 62RH and it keeps running well into the 80RH threshold. It should stop when it hits the set mark, but it doesn't. So, in the meantime, I'm using a bunch of beads to keep it at the 62/64RH mark and looking to replace this unit. I'm open to recommendations with the following criteria. Must have: Price: $200USD range. Auto sensing. Turns off when it hits set mark for RH. Suited for the volume I need to humidify. (Roughly 70 inches tall, 20 inches wide. 15 inches deep) Empty reservoir. So I can use the beads I currently have. Anything with foam, etc that takes up the cavity is a non starter. Nice to have: Extra connectors for circulation fans, lights, etc. "Smart". WiFi or bluetooth enabled for remote notifications, management, etc. App or web interface. Let me know your thoughts. Here's a pic of the unit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigar Surgeon Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Typically the Cigar Oasis unit keeps running if it's either out of water, or the water is too high and tripping the sensor I run a 2.0 Magna in my CC cabinet humidor and after I calibrated the RH the thing is a rock. Isn't the Oasis Ultra the little guy? I would think a cabinet that size would need a Magna at minimum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benfica_77 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Seems like your options can be the Cigar Oasis Magna mentioned above, maybe purchase a electronic humidification system from Aristocrat humidors it does seem to be a bit of your price range though. http://www.aristocrathumidors.com/electronic.htm From my understanding those are still for sale. You could also see the Arodini electronic humidifiers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I removed some so its now by the fill line. I'll see how it behaves for a week before moving forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of cigars in that cabinet and I don't smoke daily. So many boxes might remain untouched for years depending on what is smoking well at any given point. So, I wrap a bunch of them to slow the aging process a bit. And I only wrap cigars of which I have multiples of. In that middle row, you can see 5 PSD4 boxes, some La Escecpion and some Bolivar Royal Coronas. It will take me years to get through those. And FWIW. The box sealing is more of a whim vs a quantitative exercise. It's something I've heard others do so I'm giving it a try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds sensible, might have a bash with it as wellSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
