Can anyone recommend an elecric humidifier for my full 300 ct. humidor?

[Ringo]

Colorado is very dry this year, and although I have three genuine Credos in my 300 ct. 'dor it's still hard getting them over about 63% or so, which actually is fine with me but the Credos go dry real fast. It's only 20% humidity outside and in my house; AND I have a whole house humidifier. We're just going through a very dry time here in CO. I have to fill my Credos at least once a week. Maybe a smaller electric device will help. Any recommendations?

Cigar Oasis are the standard for small ones, I would probably use it in combination with 65% beads so you don't end up over humidifying. Credos suck, never had good luck with them. I've been using beads and bead holder humidifiers for probably 10 years after many a crap conventional humidifier. See here and here.

Mine works perfectly in my Aristocrat mini.

There's your definitive answer, get an Aristocrat. If I had known then what i know now i probably would have purchased one of aristocrat humidor's humidification systems instead of a cigar oasis. it's louder than the cigar oasis but i'm not filling it ever month and a half.

I think it all depends on where you live and the size of the Aristocrat. I have the mini and the CO+ is more than adequate in my NY home. I refill the CO+ with distilled water a few times a year. If I lived in Arizona, and/or had a larger Aristocrat, I'd probably need something better, such as Aristocrat's own humidification device.

Living in WA i thought the humidity difference wouldn't be too big between my bookshelf humidor and the air outside but my CO+ was constantly needing refilling. I ended up buying my Aristocrat and haven't looked back. I might replace my computer fans inside tho for quieter ones.
