Humidor & Coolidor bead/litter/gel placement strategy?

Bob Luken

Would it matter, for example, if I keep all my kitty litter all at the bottom of my cooler? Or all at the top. What's the scientific answers or reasoning behind where the humidifiers are best placed in our humidors and coolers? Or, if you're NOT a rocket scientist, just tell me what you think is best. (I know I would need to have enough room for the air to move around a little bit. I'm not talking about burying the kitty litter.)

I don't think it matters in a humidor. I believe that I have read if you're using a cooler you might want a small fan.

I've read about the Oust air freshener fans that have a self timed cycle. But I also read that they don't make them any more.

You can pick them up on eBay sometimes. I bet the little fan gizmo for Playstation would work. But as far as placement of humidifiers. It's my understanding that humidity rises so I would think in the bottom. Mines all sitting on top of my sticks but my humi's are shallow.

I've heard the oust fans drain batteries every three months. If that's true that can get expensive replacing batteries when electricity is so cheap and simple to tap into. Its not hard to run wires and a DC fan setup into your humi, along with a timer to control how often and for how long the DC fans run. Distribution matters only so much, circulating the air kinda solves bad placement of media for humidification because your air is mixing so often. any help on fans pm me. I can do the wiring and send you a plug and go assembly or schematics.

I have a 120 qt with a bag of KL in each corner. It is solid and seems to have a very consistent rh top to bottom. Coolers seal so well, if you have enough KL in there, it will just sit stabilize real nice.

I think for a seventy quart, you're fine without fans. I'll still get things together and build a unit to send to you, cause I know you're going to go bigger like we all do. I'll keep it plug and go, so you can use in whatever.
