Make sure the fans are compatible with the cigar oasis unit, the new units aren't compatible with the fan kit. I had to return the fans and ended up buying a laptop fan kit instead. I was told you really don't need the fan kit but I was having rh problems so I tried it anyways.

so update I got my wineador a couple days ago with my drawers and shelfs. I prep the fridge plastic smell was gone in 24 hrs. Then bought kl pecto brand put about 1 1/2 pound. I put one on the bottom and the middle plus two tube. So far it's sitting good temp 68 degrees and humidity 67% right now. See how it goes after a few hours. I have almost two drawers filled and two cases which is uf-13 and dirty rats. Drew estate show happening this week so I'm getting a few more.

Is this the one from air-n-water that comes with shelves and drawers, or did you have them made separately?

Nice. I've been eyeballing that one. Good to hear positive feedback. I plan on moving to a wineador soon.

Ok I have problem if someone can help. The bottom of the fridge it's reading 69% but the middle reading 75% do I need more kl on top or put two fans?

You sure your hygrometer is reading true?
For what I know yes. Unless I reset it and calibrate it again. The bottom goes 69%-71% but stays constant at 70%. Top at the moment is at 74%. But here's the thing should I put kl without distilled water and only spray if the levels are low? Because what I did poured distilled water in it let it soak for couple min and drain it. Could it be that the water making the humidity to height?

Yes, WAY too much water. The KL I had was low 60s RH right out of the bag. You should have your environment stable, wood seasoned, before you even add your RH media. I would pull the drawers for a day, or at least leave the door open and let some of that humidity out.
You didn't wipe your wood with water, too, did you?

from what i've read on how to handle KL that is that wet, either microwave it for a minute or so (in intervals) and put in fridge to cool, or better yet just dump it and put fresh in there to start soaking the humidity (or let door open to let some out). then put the KL in, let sit for 24 hours, microwave it to remove moisture if needed.. if it is low, just a tiny spray for DW does the trick and then reassess in 24 hours.

nice drawers btw, mine are coming on thursday :D I got an 18 bottle though due to limited space

I got your Pm, but these guys already answered well. You waaaay over saturated the KL. Dry it out, or just remove it and out in other dry KL.
