Refilling - how often
Polymer-based humidifiers (e.g. the adorini
deluxe premium humidifier) should be refilled with distilled water about
once a month. How often the humidifier needs to be refilled depends on several
factors: Frequency of opening the humidor, number of stored cigars, size of
the humidifier, external humidity, outside temperature, etc.
With sponge-based humidifiers the process of refilling is a little more complicated.
For the first filling the humidifier should be filled up with the special propylene
glycol water solution only. The distilled water evaporates substantially faster
than the propylene glycol content. Therefore, the humidor should be refilled
approximately once a month exclusively with distilled water. The special propylene
glycol solution should be applied only when the humidity level in the humidor
suddenly drops. Depending on the outside temperature this might be the case
after approximately 3-6 months. Under no circumstances should the solution be
refilled more frequently nor should a solution of propylene glycol exclusively
ever be used since the humidification system will not be able to absorb liquid
and the humidifier may hence become unusable.
