My humidor came but it is without a hygrometer.Will it be alright without one?
Also my humidor came with no instructions so i dont really no how to set it up.It just came with a black roundifier.Do i add osme kind of soloution to that or just leave it as it is.


Any help would be really great.


Thanks

set a shot glass of distilled water in it for about a week (undisturbed), and hit up shilala (on here) for some beads...he's easy to find, read his instructions and youre ready to go.
 
Does ity matter it dos not have a hygrometer?
What are you actuall meant to add to the hummidifer.Soloution?
 
For as un-accurate as those analog hygros that come with humidors are, you aren't missing much.

Pick up digital one.

SORRY IF IM ASKING STUPID QUESTIONS
 
take that black hockey puck out and use it as a doorstop.....order some beads from shilala, the beads ARE your humidifier.....order a digital hygrometer on ebay or at your local cigar shop.
 
The short answer is Propylene Glycol 50/50 solution for the humidifier and get yourself a digital hygrometer. We also discussed "beads" in our last conversation, and I believe I gave you some good sources in pm.

We are all here to help, but please take your time and look around this site. There is alot of information around here that will guide you in getting it right. :tu

One of the local B&M's here in Vancouver told me - don't waste time or money on a hygrometer - they are terribly innacurate anyway.

Kind of put me off the place - there seems to be much wisdom in having SOME way of measuring humdity.

I don't thing digitals are innacurrate, but I do agree that for a small humi you don't need one. If the cigars are too most, lower the humidity. If they are too dry raise it.
You don't need one
 
No it dosnt mater but it could mater if you don't get one and put it in there. Once you keep sticks in there you want to make sure the temp is right.

- Saturate a brand new sponge or a clean washcloth with distilled water and wipe down the interior panels of your humidor
- Follow that up with a dry washcloth to absorb excess moisture from the panels
- Place one or two shot glasses filled with distilled water in the humidor's compartment
- Do not disturb for 3 to 4 days

While you're waiting for the above process to complete its course, order some beads and a digital hygrometer. While some may not feel that a hygrometer is necessary in a smaller setup, I feel that it is an absolute must in gauging the enviroment of your stogies. A few dollars towards peace of mind is priceless.

Best of luck with the humidor. You'll outgrow that baby in no time. :ss

This is what I love about CS. When you ask a beginner question does someone laugh at your lack of knowledge? NO, we've all been there.
Do gorillas get angry when someone posts a question before searching older posts? NO, they are quick to give help without sounding condescending. Heck noone even corrcts your spellng!:ss

guevara stated "SORRY IF IM ASKING STUPID QUESTIONS"
Well, I found in this club there is no such thing.
(even if your post is misconceived the most you will get is a helpful suggestion w/ a slight sarcasm :D)

Although I am not a very vocal member of CS, I'm very happy to be part of it. I spent a year before making any posts. The reason for this is because any question I may have had about buying, storing or smoking has already been posted. guevara check out some of these posts. You will find reasons why regulating humidity is important as well as unbiased reviews on several hydrometers AND the best shops to buy them.
