What type of humidifiers are in the El Rey and how often do you need to re-fill them?

It is the type of humidifiers you either soak in distilled water or humi fluid.It's kinda like that floral sponge meteralit depends on if your using distilled water or Glycol Solution but every couple weeks or when it starts to dry out (depends on how well the humidor was seasoned)id recommend getting a digital hygrometer and getting 72% boveda humi-packs (only have to change them out every two months or so)do some looking in to them they work great for me.

I use the a tube of propylene glycol and have to fill that about every other week. It's a pretty efficient humidor.

I use the disc kind and I put a couple of drops of stogies propylene glycol every other week and that does the job.

It looks exactly like the ones I purchase for my Homedics Humidifiers. I own two (one in living area and one in bedroom). This is my humidifiers' third season for 24/7 operation, and they both continue to work like champs.

The humidifier I have is HU1-0034-06; however, the Hu1-0021-28 is described in the manual I received with mine as needing the same filters that mine does. That is, two Vornado Filters MD1-0002. These can be purchased very cheaply from Amazon.

No, you need to replace the pad only. Also you should check the pad at the beginning of the heating season. If you have a lot of minerals in your water the pad will clog with the mineral deposits and reduce the efficiency of the humidifier.

I have a large humidor that holds over 100 cigars and need two of these Humidifiers.

You know, I have had mine for a long time.Yes, I probably should humidify my humidor more often by pouring more distilled water in it, but I smoke about one cigar every few months.That being said, I bought the one tube months ago, and whenever they are all brown and shrunken again, I fill it with distilled water.Still on the same tube.

You take it out of the clear shrink wrapping and set it on a stable level surface where you need to dehumidify. Every week or so, check the legend panel on the front of the humidifier to see if the silica has changed to pink(should have started at blue). If it is pink then the silica is saturated from the humidity in the area and needs to be refreshed by taking the unit off its base and plugged into an outlet for 5 to 8 hours. The silica will then change back to blue and you can put it back to its normal place to dehumidify your area again.

Yes, a 50-50 mixture of propylene gylcol and distilled water is what most cigar stores typically sell as their humidification solution.

Brandon, congrats on your humidor! I bought mine about a year ago and still love it. I found a few videos on youtube to help season and calibrate the hydrometer. Here is what I felt was the best. http://youtu.be/PnZukYgXUKw Just remember to use distilled water and do not soak the wood. I do soak the humidifier every month or so in the distilled water.

I do agree that a large console humidifier might work better - but I have a very large bedroom and live in a dry winter climate - it does a great job for me. I also have radiator heat and it gets so dry without the humidifier. I purchased a small temp/humidifier display and this Honeywell raises my humidity quickly - within an hour. It will empty completely for me in a 24 hour period. Hope that helps.

Thanks. How do u like it so far. It seems rather expensive if u have to replace a wick every couple of weeks. Would you recommend this humidifie? And thank you for the information.

I bought mine from Amazon. Just type in uhe-oc1 and the humidifier will come up but also the filters. They are little oval blue things. I bought mine last year and had different filters that are round, can't find those so I'm now using the blue ones. Hope this helps.

Yes this humidifier needs water to work. Also you may add 1 drop of oil per fill. And replace the filter every 2-3 months with a FILTRWIX sold in amazon

It runs off ac power. The unit opens easily for to refill the water. Use propoline glycol mix, it works well for my humidor

You will most likely have to order it from the factory. If I remember correctly, there was a parts list with the paperwork that came with the humidifier. You can also go to Essick's website and order it there.

These are THE best humidity solution. I keep them in my herfadors. Had one in a 5 stick for weeks.
