NEEDONE Cigar Humidor | Deep Review

[@RPG_Bliss]

I’m impressed by your review! Great info

[@RevolverOcelot79]

You didn't show it so I'll ask. The noisy fan on the inside you replaced, does it have a standard 3 or 4 pin connector like PC fans used?

[@IvanRossS]

@@RevolverOcelot79 yes !!! But it's 2 pin fan just + & - . You can buy 3-pin fan. The third pan only made to read speed. You can simply cut it out and only use two wires.. on my channel you can find a short video of how I'm replacing a fan

[@RevolverOcelot79]

@@IvanRossS That's fantastic news. One last thing. I know the material around individually wrapped cigars is cellophane and perfectly fine for storing cigars but if I want to store a whole box, what is the material it's wrapped with? Is it cellophane as well or is it actually plastic wrapped?

[@IvanRossS]

@@RevolverOcelot79 boxes sealed and wrap usually in cellophane. But I have some boxes that are wrapped in regular plastic. I just simply put a couple of holes in them if I do not want to unseal the box and let it sit in the humidor.

[@RevolverOcelot79]

@@IvanRossS Excellent information. Thanks again for the replies.

[@0girle]

Excellent advice great review I can't wait to get mine up and going

[@billbredeck1249]

Very thorough review - interesting and informative!

[@brianroberts5176]

I had lots of problems with mine, i ended up putting boveda pks, to make it work 10 days,almost gave up on it i put it at 67 😊

[@IvanRossS]

Plug that hole in the back !!!

[@IvanRossS]

And what do you mean "I ended up putting Bovada packs in their" you supposed to have a Beretta packs in there. I have like 4 lol . Do not use tray with a distilled water.. you will eventually over humidify

[@brianroberts5176]

@IvanRossS I tried beads salt beads nothing worked almost through it out humidity is 70 bottom 72 top steady even if I go in for smokes every day

[@brianroberts5176]

It seams like the colder it gets outside the better it works, going to try plugging the hole LOL.

[@70ccbigdog]

I have heard of guys putting tape over the drain plug and it has work for them. Will give that a try

[@IvanRossS]

Do that. Mine staying at 67-68% all the time. Have like 3 bovida packs in there 69%.. hole not close at all. No problems whats so ever. You only need to close that hole while you seasoning and stabilizing your humidor. It takes few weeks, if not month. Only thing I did with it, I replaced fan inside. It had annoying whining noise from day one.. 2 fans that behind super quiet, I left them alone

[@70ccbigdog]

Thanks for a great video and info.

[@evantreffinger8744]

@@IvanRossS Fantastic video!!! Can you post a video about replacing the fan inside? or at least how to oil the motor bearings? mine has the same annoying whining noise and I realized it's because the fan is not starting up. I can start it by pushing the fan blades manually and the whining noise goes away...

[@alabama71rolltide]

My needone 150 has been staying at 67-68. It's has got a little colder here , 65 outside. And my humidor has dropped to 65. I have the tray in there without boveda packs. I did add 1 with no change after a day. I added 2 more today. Shouldn't that bring up the humidity? Thanks

[@IvanRossS]

Bovida takes a long time to bring up humidity lol. You should have just use tray that comes with it and fill up with distilled water

[@titolightskinswing6820]

What can I plug the whole up with Ive bean seasoning it without plugging it but cant get the humidity high enough. Packs are just drying out

[@shm6273]

Do you think there's a way to digitally calibrate those cheap mini hygrometer it comes with? I have taken it apart and put it back together, there was some white residue on the sensor I cleaned with alchol and that brought it 2% closer to mark but it's still 6% off.

[@IvanRossS]

Interesting. I'll do hat too

[@gonzalocasillasjr6686]

The water/condensation won’t cause mold?

[@IvanRossS]

No it will not because your condensation do not have no minerals. So it will be very low on bacteria to grow. That's why it's very important to clean your humidor and sanitize it with high percentage of alcohol. I'm sorry for late response somehow I did not see your message...

[@lurrdluffy]

Which Boveda Sizes are you using? I have 3 320g 69%, I just receive mine and im having some issues stabilizing the humidity, heard plugging the hole and a fan might help. Also the back of mine is different, the filter is not expose and its just a smooth metal plate

[@nathanhawee5373]

I'm having some of the same issue I think, I'm using 69% and am only getting 64/65% on a good day. When it's cold it's lower. So I'm wondering if you tried putting something in the drain hole and if it helped? And wanted to ask if there is a way to check the door seal or a way to help it seal better? I'm afraid that's my problem.

[@lurrdluffy]

@@nathanhawee5373 are you only using the hydrometer it came with? The issue might just be air flow, I gave up on the bóvedas because there was 0 airflow so the humidity would drop to 63-64% wether I would tape the drain hole or not, videos here recommend using a fan to help with that, but they might have changed the size of the drain holes recently since I bought two fans and the power cable of neither one fit through it. Eventually I bought an oasis, and two new hydrometer from goove, and it’s working much better, I do get some variation in RH, and a different of 2% between the top shelf and the bottom shelf. Also changed in temps outside can influence the unit. I guess only time will tell if it’s working how I need it to, it’s still too soon

[@lurrdluffy]

@@nathanhawee5373 about the door seal, no idea, I was wondering the same, I don’t think I have an issue with mine since it holds the RH pretty well unless there’s specific wether changes

[@nathanhawee5373]

So are you saying if i plug mine in, the fan wont pull humidity out??? Then does the cool air drop it then? I really need to know having problems and about ready to lose sticks

[@IvanRossS]

Okay first of all stop freaking out. You will not lose your sticks :) for you to lose your sticks your humidity level inside of cigars have to be maintained low for a very long time. When you cool air, humidity naturally will drop it's just physics. I keep my humidor at 68f. Just set your temp to 68° put some bovida packs in there and tray with distilled water on the bottom. Keep an eye on your humidity, it will take a couple of days also I will highly recommend you to test your hydrometer. Do not trust a hydrometer that comes with it, it's horrible Chinese crap. My was off by minutes 4-5%. What hydrometer do you use ? Did you perform salt test on it ? To verify that your hydrometer is accurate

[@IvanRossS]

In next 2 to 3 days there is a possibility your humidity can reach to 72% . It's ok. Just keep it that way for another 2-3 days. After that just remove your tray with distilled water and eventually it will normalize amd drop to 68% 69 % but keep your bovida packs in there. I use x3 69% packs.

[@nathanhawee5373]

@@IvanRossS awesome thanks! I will definitely give this a try makes sense to put in some extra distilled water with my boveda (I use a 320 gm and 60 GM at 68%). Thanks ALOT! I've been fighting with this thing for a month getting it to corporate with me hahah. It's officially a hobby I've spent about 500$ the last 80 days hahah but thanks again I really needed to try something new

[@TS-wb6jb]

Great video

[@KsiEchoLieutenant]

So I’ve solved my humidity issue but now I’m having issues with condensation. Is it normal for it to have condensation on the heatsink on the inside? It sometimes drips

[@IvanRossS]

Yes of course because of a relative temperature. The more temperature difference between inside of your house and inside of your humidor the more humidity in the water will be collecting. This is why there is a drain hole there

[@KsiEchoLieutenant]

@@IvanRossS so will this cause any problems as in mold or anything?

[@KsiEchoLieutenant]

I just picked this humidor up today and I had a question about the fan that’s on the inside. Is it supposed to be running all the time or is it on like a timer? Mine seemed to stop spinning after a few minutes

[@IvanRossS]

It's supposed to run All the time on very low speed.. as soon as you open it it will analyze the temperature lost and it will crank the speed

[@KsiEchoLieutenant]

@@IvanRossS the one that I can see through the glass correct? If that’s the case, mine has stopped spinning. What do you recommend?

[@IvanRossS]

@KsiEchoLieutenant let me check on mine and I will let you know. If you open the door and let it sit it will lose temperature and it should crank on its own

[@KsiEchoLieutenant]

@@IvanRossS I’m currently trying to season mine so I didn’t want to bother it

[@nathanhawee5373]

Im using one of these. And ive been running it unplugged since i got it because the weather is cold. But it's starting to warm up now, when i turn it on, how long does it take for humanity to go back up? Mine dropped to 58% after plugged in.

[@IvanRossS]

Lol I have no idea how long is going to take you. Make sure you have some bovida packs in there in a tray with a distilled water

[@nathanhawee5373]

@@IvanRossS damn then you haven't actually used one then?? I mean they all work about the same, and pretty much everyone uses boveda's. In the video you said where the fan is, there isn't actually a hole going into the humidor and the only place air gets in/out is the hole in the back. Why then when I turned it on would the humidity drop 10%

[@GhoulGamingXD]

Does it come with distilled water?

[@IvanRossS]

@@GhoulGamingXD sometime when you have nothing smart to say it's better to keep silence

[@ballamaniac6984]

Whats the purpose of putting water in the hole in back ? It says nothing about that in the instructions

[@IvanRossS]

To seal it lol. So air will not escape with humidity

[@danielvolkov-pk3sy]

Love this video bro

[@FILTH_87]

Tap water......... really really bad advice..... distilled water or isopropyl alcohol to wipe inside. NOT TAP WATER.

[@b.honest3729]

I dont want to see the product taken out the box and you tell everyone how it should work. This is not an honest review. I would like to know how the unit works over a period of time.

[@IvanRossS]

@@b.honest3729 nobody asking you to watch my video....... when they sent you unit for a review you don't really have time to test it over a period of time..... instead of telling me what you do not want to see (which I absolutely don't care) you could have just simply asked in this comment section how is working? Is everything is okay and I could have simply respond... cmon man

[@b.honest3729]

@@IvanRossS Honest feedback and critique. I now understand this is a biased review based on the vendor sending you a unit to review. If you had purchased the unit the review would have been different. Doesn't it irritate you when you purchase an item and a survey is requested right away and you comply with 5 stars for capability only to later gain frustration from a failed or flawed procurement? This is not to knock you. Just giving pointers and stressing what we would like to see. Maybe we can have a stick and coffee together someday.
