Will the GEL PAK for the STRETTO HUMIDIFIER for violin fit in this container instead of a sponge?I am confident with the gel pak.NO DRIPS.LASTS LONG.

A gel pack sounds better than a sponge by holding moisture longer, but I haven't had any problems with drips...other than some of my relatives, lol. If you can make the replacement without breaking the plastic, I'd say Go For IT! Let me know if it works for you, I might give it a try out in four of my units.

It might! This humidifier is made for acoustic guitars. Another trick. Replace the sponge with micro-fiber cloth! The cloth stays wet twice as long as the sponge.

I don't know ? mine works fine and I keep the sponge moist not dripping wet . I haven't heard of a gel pack but if it is better I would try it Sorry I couldn't be of more help Raymond

I have no idea as I have never used the gel pack and have no knowledge of a violin. It works great on a guitar. Wouldn't be without it.....................

You can reasonably expect for this to humidify a gallon or less space. The larger the space, the quicker the water inside will be consumed. I keep tubes of my material to be humidified into sandwich bags each with a pack, and those into a big Tupperware with one additional pack. Works very well.

You will need to buy the humidipaks with the storage sleeves, then you will only have to buy the refills. As long as you use the humidipaks in their storage sleeves, you can store guitar flat or on its side. I typically store mine on its side (in the case). Have been using the humidipak so for about a year now and have not noticed any problems storing the guitar flat or on its side.

Your only option is to make it tighter. Over time I had to get mine tighter and tighter to prevent it from leaking. After a while I had to use a jar opener to open the tank. Yes, I actually bought a jar opener to be able to use this humidifier. :) Poor design. I have a new humidifier now that is far better than Heaven Fresh.

I don't know if this will help. But, water would condensate in the handle part of the humidifier. This happen twice. I gave it a good cleaning and have not experience any other problems.

I would think so. As long as it has a tank of water I think it can be used. This isn't the vicks one that you put medicine in is it? If it is then I would say no to that. But my opinion: I wouldn't waste the money on these. They made my humidifiers get dirty faster

Hi, the only way this might help is by placing the humid pack under the neck of the guitar in the guitar case, which one of the packs does anyway. the one that goes in the sound hole could be placed flat along the strings on top, but you need to ensure you can close your guitar case. I tried it on mine and was able to close the case with out issue. Your might be different. I do recommend these if you love your guitar.

You should fill the Humidifying device till you can see the liquid under the screen, Then you should dump out the excess and shake out any drop from the device. After it is drip free, re-install in the humidor and you are ready to go!

Hi there , actually you only want to use the humidipaks with an acoustic guitar . Electric guitars can can withhold against the elements better than an acoustic . If possible , you should still have a room for your instruments where you can monitor the humidity & maybe use a small vaporizer & a hergometer . Hope this helps :-)

My "guess" ... If the condensation is warm/hot ....it's not sealed correctly... the rubber/foam seal at the top of the body that snugs up to the top of the humidifier must be tight.... If it's not.. steam is able to escape... hope this helps.... Greg

I have a case humidifier for my Martin. I use this one on my Seagull which stays on a stand. I don't see why it would matter which way it is stored as long as you follow the directions. Mine works great!

I use in my Vick's cool mist humidifier that is filterless. I drop in the water tank. No problem with dropping in or removing to change.Can always call the manufacturer to check too.

Place between strings like Matt stated. You do risk water dripping but the sponge should not be overly saturated with water. I've never had a problem with water dripping. Wet the sponge and ring it out so it's just damp. Repeat every few days. Good luck

I use it in a filter less cool mist humidifier, it stays in the reservoir since the water goes out a small hole.

No problem however the case is positioned.This is probably the best humidifier for guitars. Very simple, neat and clean, and also balanced. The only possible down side is that the replacement packs are relatively expensive, given that they only last two months or so (maybe slightly longer under certain conditions).

I don't see why not, however I would be careful. Your humidifier might permanently smell like lavender or whatever scent you put in it. So make sure you like it or don't mind if you mix them. As far as how much, we use about 4 drops per 100mL in a diffuser. You probably would not want that large of a ratio since it would likely be 1/4 of the bottle if you have a 4L capacity on your humidifier. I would start with about 15drops per liter and adjust from there.
