Vinotemp... read the whole thread

sorry to keep kicking this thread but does anyone else see a resemblance of the unit in this thread and the edgestar 28 btl

now could it be possible that in fact these edgestars are actually the early vinotemps? just being marketed under "edgestar"

i know chase is going to start making shelves and trays. and these are very good looking (not as nice as current vino's IMHO) can anyone that has an early vinotemp confirm this?

Here is a side by side:

I have an Edgestar on the way.

The insides from what I have seen are a bit different but they do look similar.

Edgestar! THAT is the one I was trying to think of. And Yes, from what I've been told it is identical in construction to the early VT 28. The only discernable diff being the black sides and back.

I am assuming that this unit is 3-4 years old and still being produced. Again, it's speculation but I'll bet VT switched to another manufacturer to produce their sleek new unit with the polished from and pull handle.

I fired mine up over the weekend and it ran a low of 42.1 and and a high of 62.2 degrees. A tadtoo cool for stogies? Yes / no? Too bad it can be adjusted to maintain 68 or 70!

Anyone?

Well, I've seen 61-64F being recommended for storage of cigars and have read that some HK collectors prefer temps around there as the cigars age more gracefully. So at 62 F you should be laughing.

Consensus appears to be that the lower end of this range (16ºC - 61ºF) is the ideal target, as higher temperature is the more critical concern.

70/70 is an old wive's tale.

I believe the Edgestars are little narrower inside. The trays I've made for them have been 14.5" compared to the Vinotemps at 15 1/8"
