How many boveda?

[daleo8803]

OK guys. I just got a 16 bottle wineador. ATM there are about 40 cigars in there with a few more coming..... I have 4 of the big packs in there. On the sight it says if using a plastic container 2 should cover up to 150 cigars. So I'm guessing I'm good?

You're good.

I use two in a retail environment in a 150 count display humidor at a local winery and it keeps it rock solid.

Thanks!!

I have a New Air 28 bottle and I have 16 large 65% packs in it. The bottom and middle are OK but the top drawer is at 58% humidity. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong? It's really starting to piss me off.

As I don't own one I can't say for sure. But from reading through the botl about storage for the past week, the solution that comes up most for that issue seems to be circulation.

Like Omertà said prob circulation.

Maybe do a recalibration on your top hygrometer too, just in case.

I can't imagine having that many bovedas in such a small space you would have a problem. My bet is the hygrometer is off

I trust the Bovedas. If they're not drying out, your hygrometer may be off.

I used to worry about the numbers, but ever since I added Bovedas to my humidors, I just go by them. Got about a dozen or so in each humidor with about 4-500 cigars each. I also keep a pound of heartfelt beads in each. When I see a Boveda start to go down, I overcharge the beads and the Bovedas plump back up.

I dont have a wineador but I don't think the process is any different. I know some people add circulating fans.

Could be the low stock in there allowing for fluctuations. Throw some empty boxes in there if you can. Or fill it with cigars

 

[daleo8803]

Thanks guys! I have added more cigars and I be moving about another 100 into it soon. I also bought a 80mm fan I'm going to put in there on a timer to help move the air around.

It's a function of temp and how RH relates to it. Heat rises so your wineadore is warmer at the top and as a result your RH is lower. Circulation is the answer. Once your temps are equal top to bottom your RH problem will be solved.

I Have been dealing with the same issue and once I got a fan in mine the problem was solved. I just ordered a timer so that I can program the fan to cycle on (and off) several times a day.

 

[daleo8803]

Well guys here it is. I installed 2 80mm fans on a timer. They should come on around 8 times a day for about 20 mins. Also put in 2 new hygrometer s that I have tested the to be good.

give us an update. How's it working?

I built a cedar drawer for the bottom. It's been in there since Sunday. The humidity still is in flux but it has gotten up to 61%. I'm hoping it will settle in a few more days.
