“The smiley crystal gel humidifiers are a must have. In the past I struggled to get good results with oem clay humidiers. The fluctuations and constant maintenance was downright stupid. I noticed immediate improvement in my 50 count humidifier and within a week no wild humidity fluctuations. Anyone with a desktop humi will benefit from these. No more flaking wraps no more hair pulling...thanks.”
“The CI Smiley humidifier(CI Smiley Crystal Gel Humidification) works as advertised! I was struggling to keep both my 20 and 40 count humidors over 65% using only the OEM humidity elements now that winter's drier air is here. Even refilling them daily, I couldn't get it done and the impact on my cigars was noticeable: flaking wrappers; hot, quick burns and airy draws. In desperation, I ordered two "Smileys" to see if the propylene glycol gels lived up to the hype, and I'm happy to report that both humidors now sit at 68% and I haven't had to re-wet the gels since the initial soaking several weeks ago. Fully convinced, I next ordered the Humi-Care HX10 for my 100-count humidor with similar results. And the cigars? Oh, yeah, baby, they're back to even burns and steady draws!”
“I sure hope the crystal gel humidifiers live up to the hype. Just soaked mine per directions and the 10 for my 100 ct humi worked great but the round one separated and had to fish all the gel balls out of the water and maybe half went back in! Really does anyone test these things? Maybe they are overfilled? That's alright though, after taking the foam out of my old round one i now have 2 round gel humidifiers! :-)”
