I don't know, maybe I'm just lucky when it comes to my wineador, LOL. Seems like without fans or anything I get consistent temps and rh through the whole unit.

Do yourself a favor though, calibrate those hygrometers and see how your wineador stabilizes before spending time and money modifying and adding to your setup.

@Upstatemax thanks for the suggestion on "pens" i will definetly look in to that. @Trackmyer hey buddy thanks again for the gift. @CopGTP i was thinking the same thing. I wanted to season the shelf i bought on amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=ATVPDKIKX0DER first before really dabbing int fans and stuff, but at the same time i seen a lot of people go with fans from the begging or some time close after. So at this point its still undecided on this whole fan idea.

So I finally got the unit at home and it's currently stuffed with news papers. But now a new question arises. The max temp on the unit is 66, is it possible to increase the thermostat to higher temperatures? Let's say I would want it to go up to 69 or 70 degrees.

Why would u go higher, 66 is the highest cigars should ever be.
I`ve been smoking 20 yrs, and I am still a newbie to this hobby.

But I know some guys who have really expensive collections worth
100,000 and up, temps are in the low 60s, as well as the RH, at all times.

this 70 70 notion is hogwash.

No one here can tell you where you should be at when it comes to temp and rh, IMHO. It all depends on your personal opinion!!!!

Only thing everyone here can agree on is that your temp/rh should both be anywhere between 60 and 70, bottom line.

Some people like their sticks a bit drier, some don't. Some enjoy the aging qualities of 70/70, some don't.

Try them all out!!! I went through quite a few different combinations before I realized that 65/65 are the numbers for me.

I know what you mean and thats not where i was going. Im new to this hobby and wanted to see where others stand and what they think. Im currently at the suppose golden ratio of 70/70 and i think it works for me for now. Thats why i was hoping there was an easy way of raising the Temp on the unit.

Ahw man. Thats all i can say. I came home after work and noticed something is different. My mail box it was, it was, destroyed. Out the ruble this is what i find. IMG_0818.jpg

I was already grateful for the Boveda Kit that you sent me but there were more. There were the cigars. Thanks a lot brotha. I had the Undercown and loved it, the others are all new but i can't wait to try them all.


So i started the calibration process and hoping to be done by this Thursday. I already charged my beads and but some of my cigars in the Wineador with the beads and i already see a 7rh difference between the bottom and the top. Im hoping this will balance it self as its only been day 2. I know that the reading are off most likely which I'm hoping for but at the same time i guess i was expecting thins. I'm guessing a fan is in my future but time will tell.

@Trackmyer strikes again! He bombed me the same way back at the old site when I was a fresh newb! I got a boveda holder, and that's all I expected and was demolished by a bomb! He's a great BOTL, I saw the tracking code and knew you were in for a treat!

[Trackmyer]

Glad you liked it. Just trying to spread the brotherly love. Keep at it, your winador will be running smooth in no time.

So i have a little bit of free time and figured might as well update you guys. For now i think the build is finished . Thanks to @Trackmyer all of my hydrometers are not calibrated but as before i still have a slight variation in rH. Im gonna try to give it another week or 2 before going forward with the fan hoping everything will even its self out. So here is where we are as of nowIMG_0838.jpg don't mind the baby stuff with NYC apartment her things are taking over Have a little package coming from the site, anything to take up space in the unit to help out with rH. Hoping with time my cigar budget will improve to fill this thing up. But enough about that, finally the weather is nice here so going to go and enjoy a smoke while walking my helperIMG_0483.jpg
