Question
I currently use the oasis 2 and can't seem to keep my cigars hydrated enough.  I keep an average of 200m - 300 smokes in my floor model unit at a time.  Plus I don't like the process of refilling the oasis.  I like the large resevouir feature of the moist n air.  I've received conflicting reports about the hygrometer accuracy of the moist n air.  I appreciate and look forward to your feedback.  My floor model unit holds up to to 2000 smokes.

Answer
Joe,

I'm not a big fan of the Moist-N-Aire humidifiers. We use some in our commercial units, but they don't last more than 18 months or so and the controls are not super accurate.

There is a unit called Humidifresh that is a similar size, but I think much better quality. It is suppose to maintain up to 50 cubic feet, has a better humistat and they seem to last much longer. You can read about them and order one directly from American Cigar Accessories at amhumidifiers.com

They are available with a 1 gallon tank or you can order one that plumbs directly to a water line so you never have to refill it manually.

Hope this helps.
Bill
