Comments about Cigar Oasis Ultra:
Does what is advertised. No additives required. Just use water which is a big plus. Only drawback is that it needs to be refilled every 4th or 5th day. Other than that, a very good product.
Comments about Cigar Oasis Ultra:
Here in Santa Fe we experience year-round very low humidity: typically 20% and lower. A challenging environment in which to keep cigars in good condition. My experience with passive humidifiers has been dismal. Wide swings in humidor moisture levels, very short sponge life, frequent (sometimes daily) refreshing.
The Ultra helps a lot. It keeps my cigars at a much higher and more consistent humidification than I have been able to achieve with other devices. I like it. But it's faults are consistent with the faults of other humidifiers, although easier to manage. I still have to check and re-fill the cartridges frequently. I find the dry-cartridge alarm not useful. And the water-absorbing material inside the cartidges seems to wear out very quickly. I find I'm using about 3-4 per year.
As I said, I like it and I'll keep using it. But I would love to see longer cartridge life.

Sent the first one back - It was replaced. Second one - hygrometer is not accurate, setpoint must be set lower,low water alarm does not work, and pump runs many times per hour.
