I own, (besides my Aristocrat Mini) a 120qt coolerdor that stands on end. It has two shelves and I place a stocking filled with Climmax beads on each shelf. That way it stays even throughout.

Yep...same here although that is the specific place for the Avallo AH-1200

How can humid air rise? Humidity means vaporized water molecules are in the air, thus making it heavier. No?

No. Humid air is lighter.

Humid air contains water vapor which is lighter than air. It does rise. Some of our coolerdors are just confused- mine because I don't have enough boxes of the good stuff

From the article I gave the link to:
Wait a minute, you might say, "I know water's heavier than air." True, liquid water is heavier, or more dense, than air. But, the water that makes the air humid isn't liquid. It's water vapor, which is a gas that is lighter than nitrogen or oxygen. (Related: Understanding water in the atmosphere).

Compared to the differences made by temperature and air pressure, humidity has a small effect on the air's density. But, humid air is lighter than dry air at the same temperature and pressure.

Just because it is technically lighter than air doesn't mean it will rise. That is only a function of temperature. Not mass. Humid air is denser than unhumidified air and therefor after time it will settle to bottom. Right?

Same here.

Actually, on the larger cabinets the water canisters are on the bottom and on the mid-levels as well. I don't think the temp variances are going to be that much to make the humidity rise and will therefore settle on the bottom. My advice, put it on the bottom with circulating fans that move the air upwards.

Clouds are water vapor and they are in the sky, when they change to liquid they come down as precipiation.
