And where to place your humidity source?
Does humid air rise or does it fall to the bottom of a humidor? This is an important question because it will determine where a humidifier is placed in the humidor.
Most desktop (i.e., smaller humidors) have the humidification source (usually passive humidification) on the lid, so when it's closed the humidity would obviously fall towards the bottom. Larger cabinet style humidors that use active humidification (Oasis or CigarSpa for example) have these devices placed at the bottom of the humidor typically. Walk-in humidors usually have the humidity expelled through tubes placed near the ceiling of the humidor.
My question is where should the humidity source (more specifically, the tube where the humidity exits) be placed in a humidor? From the above examples we see that they are placed in different sections. Does this mean that forced humidity (active) should be placed at the bottom because the humidity is being sent to the top and will eventually fall to the bottom? Or, is it the other way around?
