Humidification recommendations

in Cigar 101
Had a buddy from work (thanks Steve, if you are out there) give me this sweet humidor today with an electric humidifier. The old BNC, who is a pain, is complaining that it's too loud, although she's letting me keep it in the dining room as a compromise for getting rid of the baby casket (now that I filled it with 200 smokes LOL). So I'm looking to upgrade the humidifier. Recommendations? Here it is...

Probably be able to add a better controller.
But that is the brand most shops use.
Hydra is ok, but if you get a "home" electronic humidifier, the first thing you will want to do is remove the green foam crap they use and put beads or crystals in it and clean them once every 4-6 months.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

But I can also tell you that in Vegas, you will most likely need 2 hydras to keep up with that cabinet and they will be just as noisy as 1 Moist-N-Aire.
Another option is to get 5 lbs of beads. LOL!

I don't know much about it but, that machine looks like it could handle a humidor five times as big.

Not just you, that's why I was applying more weatherstripping to the door into the garage last night before I started roasting coffee.

I use something like these nylon mesh bags in some of my storage boxes;

A shallow tupperware thingy would work well too, just keep the top off of it and use caution when moving it.
I figured a gallon of water was a good indication that it leaked. I put some small weather stripping around the door jamb and voila! She went right up to the high eighties.
The control unit on that saying by the way was reading at about 50% when the RH was in the low 80s. Now it's just a matter of fiddling with it so that I know where to set the dial for the humidity that I want. I'm probably going to start off trying to maintain 70% since it is winter and a little more humid than normal.
Now that this thing is pretty airtight, I most definitely think that I can get away with something smaller to manage humidity.

Every cigar comes out wonderfully ready to smoke.
Just a thought, Enjoy!
