    Buy the 320 gram Boveda's 2 in cooler will be more than enough. Don't waste your time with the small packs. 

    I have 6 120 qt coolers and each of them have 2 - 3 320 gram boveda's in them. Humidity is at a rock solid 65%
    Thanks for posting this @miller65rod, I was just looking at the larger packs this afternoon and wondering if two of them would do.  B)

    Depends on the cooler size and how many boxes you have in there.

    If it just a few boxes and more singles then I would get 3 if it is a 120qt cooler.

    As many have said, you can never have too many Boveda's in a cooler. 

    1 320 gram pouch is for 50-150 ct humidor.

    Looks a lot like my setup. I keep it stuffed with boxes to help the humidity recover when I close the door. The goal is to one day have all the boxes be full.

    Update: Used the 84% Bovedas to season all my cedar trays and boxes inside the coolidor. Dropped a couple 320g 65%ers in after work, and all is looking good. Going to start putting sticks in shortly. Thanks for all of the advice!

    New mega cooler and shelving ordered today. I'll post up pics once it's all set up in a few weeks.

    What are you guys using for interior lighting and air circulation? Would like to blow some money setting this one up pretty so I'm open to whatever you guys are using.

    Not on my humidor but on my safe I have a few strips of basic white LED lights activated by pressure switch so they come on when it opens automatically.  It works great and doesn't draw much power or add any heat.

    edit:  Oh yeah, that setup is pretty cheap too so leaves more $$ for other things, like cedar shelving or a second cooler.
    Despite the high cost of living, it remains popular.

    Do you have to climb in the damn thing to get to the bottom?
    @Patrickbrick. He did say it was a mega cooler...

    Not exactly but that's pretty cool. Its gonna sit vertically with shelves and I'm building a cabinet around it so it looks like a piece of furniture.

    I get it now why the coolers are so popular...effortless once the trays, etc were seasoned. B)
    Do you have more trays underneath?  Those Onyx cigars are very tasty.  Had me feeling good lol.

    There is another tray (actually the bottom half of a desktop humidor I gave up on) and a box of Undercrowns under the two visible trays.

    I love the Onyx’s too, @KenpoKnight. You get a lot of bang for the buck with them!

    That’s a good idea using the desktop humidor bottom.
