    kinda. i dont know what would win in that battle.... temp or the weight of the humid air.

    Heat always rises, and am I correct in assuming, typically, warmer air is more humid?
  • kuzi16kuzi16 Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 14,471
    but moist air is heavy. more so than dry air. whats the temp at the top vs. the temp at the bottom ?

    I think it may be flipped because the Oasis II is pumping the air upwards rapidly, warmer air(normally more humid correct?) stays at the top while cooler, less humid air falls back down. I'd get an oust fan or two and point them down back towards the Oasis and see if that helps stabilize it.
    I'm not sure how rapidly the Oasis II is pumping the air upwards, though. It's got 4 rows of drawers between it and the upper shelves, all with substantial numbers of cigars in them. And, for reasons I don't understand, the humi is built so that there is for all intents and purposes a seal across the front at the top of the drawers. That is, where the divider in the door is, between the upper and lower panes of glass, there's an extra thickness of cedar on the back side of it. It looks to me like it has to prevent much bottom-to-top circulation from happening up the front of the humi. So the only circulation is what's provided by the slots in the bottoms of the drawers, shelves, and trays. But with those bottoms covered with at least one layer and in almost all cases more than one layer of cigars, I wouldn't think the upward circulation is happening very rapidly.

    With that in mind you are probably right.

    looks pretty close there urby.. question, my large humi has moved to about 57% would that mean I need more activated beads?
  • urbinourbino Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 4,517
    Either more beads or you need to recharge the beads you have. Adding more beads would keep you from having to recharge as often, and probably help the RH recover more quickly after you open the humi.

    I just now took a peek at your humi. It's a beautiful thing. I feel so woefully inadequate. I guess it's onlly cause I am... Very Very nice Urbi...

    Is the oasis 2 all you are using.... It looks to be stabilzing nicely...
  • urbinourbino Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 4,517
    Thanks. I've got about a pound and a half of 65% beads on the top shelf.

    I've noticed, lately, my stogies seem a bit dry. I bumped the Oasis II up to 67%.
