I followed S15's thread and modified my oasis ultra with the gel. I'm not using PG but haven't had any issues.

I was given the oasis from KidRock and he had never used it before but had received it several months prior. The foam had mold by the openings as you described, although mine was actual green/brown mold. After reading around it appears that oasis may ship these with some moisture in them.

Either way, the gel mod is the way to go. Absolute no brainer.

Honestly, I'd ditch the CO and get beads from Heartfelt. I owned a CO and it did nothing but cause me problems.

As far as the modifying the CO with crystals, that still does not make sense to me. I have a feeling those individuals are going to find those things going buck wild on them in the summer since their is nothing in place to regulate the RH.

I've had CO's in 2 humis for 2 years, 1 year in El Paso (RH20%) and 1 year in Chicago (RH70%). I don't use any beads and haven't had any mold issues or humidity problems since I switched to the CO's.
