Xikar Crystal Humidifier 250 Rectangular
MSRP
The XiKAR Crystal 250 humidifier has a special polymer gel that absorbs up to 450 times its weight in fluid. That means better cigar humidification and less work for you. DO NOT use 50/50 solution with this unit. It is designed to work best with XiKAR's own PG solution, or plain distilled water.

I use this with monster venom and have had no problems. Cant say that with many others ive used, when it dips below 67 i add more juice gets back up to 69-70 i have one in a 150 count size humidor usually recharge every 3-4 weeks.

I have used these for years in my table top humidors and no need to use any special solution. Use distilled water only and let it set for 15-20 minutes to absorb the water before placing back in your humidor. Will keep your humidor around 70% +/- 1% for up to 3 months before needing to be refilled.

I have 1 of these for my large travel humidor (150 cigars) and it is working great. After filling, it took about 20 minutes to jell-up. I check it often and it's keeping my level between 72-75%.Per the directions, DO NOT USE only distilled water. The crystals are specifically designed for use with the solution, not water.

Added distilled water and the little rocks turned into a gel brick. No more baby sitting sponges. Awesome!

Great product, no more watering every few days. Consistant humidity level, no more drip, and water logged stogies. A must for all humidors !!

Put one of these in my humidor and it works great keeping it right at 70%. So far distilled water is all i've used and it does the job nicely. No need for the special stuff which is probably just distilled water anyway.

Used with Xicar proprietary solution, these humidifiers work just fine ? for a little over a year. Then the humidity levels slowly drop off, and Xicar tells you it s time to replace them. Instead of spending the $$ on these, you d be better off with Boveda packs or simple beads and distilled water.

Do NOT use water or regular PG solution, use Xikar brand fluid only. I ve had these in the past and used PG and it didn t absorb properly. I use only Xikar solution and they work flawlessly.

These work great if you use them correctly. DO NOT use distilled water or tap water. Only use a PG solution, perferrably Xikar. If you use the PG solution you will never have mold. These maintain humidity very well, but need to be replaced every few years. 5-star product.
