I have not seen the guage above 60 yet. I've had the humidifier for over a month now and the needle on that guage has not passed 60. Even after filling the canister with this product. Am I doing something wrong?

Stabilizes humidor at 70% relative humidity, and has a good price compared to others. Good about this is that it's pre-mixed. No need to do abything else.You can even replenish humidifier sponge with just distilled water after it has this solution in it, and still keep it at 70%. That is if you use a kiln-dried Spanish cedar humidor.

In Iowa, roughly 30-50% humidity during winter, a 2-oz jars filled with XiKar will last for a couple months in an average sized humidor of 50-100 cigars, and keep it right around 70% humidity as advertised. Thus, one of these 8-oz bottles should last several months. I have the 2-oz jar currently in a 28-quart cooler and it's running around 65% using an analog hygrometer adjusted using the "salt test." So with larger humidors you may want the 4- or 8-oz jars.

Xikar is more expensive than most of these humidifier solutions. If you canget it at a reasonable price, great! They pretty much all have the same ingredients. I'm not sure this is any better than others, but Xikar has a grreat name for cigar accessories.
