Cigars/Propylene Glycol

Question
I have been using propylene glycol in my humidor and it works quite well to keep my cigars fresh. It forms crystals and I have been adding solution around the crystals. Should I be discarding these crystals and using fresh solution or can I continue to do what I have been doing.
Thanks
Don

Answer
Odd
What type of devices?
How much Propylene Glycol to water proportions?
How often do you fill it?
How much water does the device hold?

Check out my videos on you tube first.
Mike Paradise Cigars or just put in Paradisecigars on Internet explorer to find the youtube videos.

But sometimes it is just best to continue to do what works for you.
Only - watch for a dark color on the crystals as they indicate mold. Replace the devices, whatever they are, every few years - if you use just 50/50 solution replace the devices every year to be sure.

Enjoy
Mike
