What about a vino? opinions?

In two years, with more than 5lbs of beads, Ive had to do this only once.

Vino would probably be the same size as some end table humidors. This would be the smallest application Id use active humidity in.

Still, I used beads in my vino, I use beads in my tower... I have a "set and forget" system in my other cabinet and its a giant pain in the ass.

No need for active in a vino, spread out beads work fine. The same is true with a cabinet, although thats when I added a few Oust fans. If the beads are spread out, it should be sufficient in any size humidor in reasonable climates.

Since Vinos have a very good seal beads are a good option (I did plug the drain though). I have 2 pounds of Heartfelt beads in mine and have had no problems for the two years its been operational. I only have to mist the bags of beads every 4 or 5 months when I notice the RH start to drop. Also have no additional fans other than the one that comes with the Vino.
