This new DCH-12V5 is very good to use. This is my 3rd one for a new humidor. Just make sure you plug the flat power cable to "DC 12V" power port. If you plug the power cable to "EXT. Fan" Port, then the fan will not stop.

When running it does just what it is suppose to. I was so excited by the product I modified my humidor to make it fit. Unfortunately it never shuts off at the programmed humidity. For a long time I tried to remember to unplug it occasionally, but often forgot and ruined my cigars by making them soaking wet. I procrastinated too long now can't return it.

So far this product works well, I am testing in my 100 count humidor, but will use it to make a coolidor . The hygrometer calibration seems spot on from the factory my Hygro-Set Adjustable Digital Hygrometer agrees with tis this unit.

Very pleased with this humidifier. Takes all the guess work out of everything. Took a few days to get to the desired % I wanted and it solidly maintains it. Very easy to install, took only minutes to set up. I have it in a Dark Night 111 that I also purchased from Thompson and I have the humidifier set right between two openings on the top rack of my humidor, so all I have to do is look through the glass top and I can see the temp, humidity, and past 3 days average at a glance without having to open it.

After watching my puros drying in the hot Oregon desert weather, no matter what I did to save them, I took the plunge and purchased this automatic humidifier. Wow, in almost 3 weeks I've stabilized my humidity and saved the catastrophe developing before my eyes. Forget the "packs" and gel jars, let alone the humidifier I filled every other week. This device is for real. I've watched my humidor come back to life. Easy to set up, easy to use. Truely a no brainer. Compact design and cool technology makes getting your stashhold into proper shape. I would recommend anyone living in arid dry areas to use an automatic humidifier and save yourself some heartache. The Le Viel is tops and affordable, perfect humidity every time.

It a very good price. Then I received Le Veil DCH-12v5 (not V1) and it amazing! Easy to set up, easy to calibrate and work perfectly. It alway keeps the humidity at 70%, when humidity 69% or lower, the fan will auto run until it reach 71%. You can set the humidity you want just in a second. I'll buy couple more for my other humidors

This thing is simply amazing. I cannot imagine using any other method to keep your humidity levels consistent. First off I am sure like me you read the negative reviews as well as all of the positives. The one negative review that stuck out to me was the guy who challenged users of the Le Veil Dch-12v1 Digital Cigar Humidifier to test the unit against a free standing hygrometer. So when I purchased this unit I also purchased a Caliber 4R hygrometer and a Boveda calibration kit. I set the humidifier up and let it run in the humidor, it took about a day to stabilize. I have a glass top humidor, so monitoring the unit was very easy (and it just looks cool!). The hygrometer came in a little over a week after the humidifier (long story not relative to the review). But the humidity level in the humidor was always (according to the hygrometer on the humidifier) rock solid 70. Open the humidor humidity drops, the fan kicks on 2 minutes later right back to 70. Once the Caliber 4R along with the Boveda calibration kit arrived I immediately began the calibration of the hygrometer. The bag states to wait 24-36 hours. since I wanted to make sure the unit was accurate I opted for 36 hours. The Caliber 4R was off by 1% at the end of the test so I adjusted the unit (I was actually able to adjust it while it was still in the kit by feeling for the buttons on the backside) and I let it stay in the bag another day. I didn't need t do this but I wanted to be sure. I had been challenged after all. Once the calibration was complete I placed the hygrometer in the humidor and gave it some time to adjust to the humidors humidity. The next day I compared the two. The humidifier read 70% humidity. the Hygrometer read 71%. Off by 1% of a well calibrated hygrometer right out of the box. Not bad. I calibrated the humidifier. Both units now read exactly 70%. I'll never use another method to humidify my cigars, this is just too easy (also the shorter reservoir was a life saver).

Bought this Humidifier last month and love it. It was hard to understand the instructions that came with the humidifier. It took me a few days to figure out how to set the humidity in my humidor, but once i figured it out haven't had any problems since. It stays at 70% all day, everyday. It comes with an extra water canister and crystal beads inside the main water canister. Make sure your hygrometer that's in your humidor is calibrated before using the humidifier in your humidor. Use the hygrometer as a reference point when setting the humidity level on the humidifier.

I bought a humidor & the hygrometer that is displayed on the outside of my case is not reaching the proper temperature with my new humidifier. I must add that I followed all directions on proper seasoning and calibrating before purchasing my humidifier. The hygrometer worked when I was using the standard humidity trays. This tells me, that even though the humidifier is reading the proper numbers, it is not doing the job of keeping humidity.

I thought the thing was defective because the fan ran 24/7 regardless of settings. Then I realized I had the DC connection line plugged into the external fan terminal instead of the power input terminal. Silly mistake but easy to make and one that apparently many other people have made (I figured it out after googling the problem..). Hey Le Veil. How about putting a warning about that in the packaging materials? You might have less service calls and returns!

PLEASE PARDON THE LONG COMMENT ... I TRIED TO BE THOUROUGH TO HELP THOSE AFTER ME. I bought this for a new humidor after seeing a good friend with it. I read several reviews and was impressed by what I had both seen and read. But the flaw in my research was that I did not catch that NO ONE COMPARED THE LEVIEL AGAINST A FREE STANDING DIGITAL HYGROMETER IN ALL THAT I SAW OR READ! I tried 2 of these items. The first had a defect where the cord did not work. I borrowed my friend's cord from his LeViel to discover my problem. The fan ran continuously for more than 12 hours until I unplugged it. I figured it was defective since my friend's fan never ran that long. I sent it back and it took about a week but the second unit arrived and fired up like it was supposed to. I followed the instructions and placed it in a new, seasoned humidor. After about 6 hours, the fan had stopped spinning (like it was supposed to), the humidity read 70% and the temperature 78 F. I have 2 other humidors with ZYKAR ROUND DIGITAL hygrometers that I've used for better than 3 years with no problems (cigars are great). Both read 74 F and one reads 70% the other 71% humidity. So I placed them in the new humidor with the LeViel. After 4,8,12,&24 hours the LeViel read 70%/78F the Zykars 78&79%/78F. I adjusted the humidity knob on the LeViel but could never get the humidity to read higher than 71%. I could adjust the humidity down to 68%. I borrowed a neighbor's digital hygrometer from one of his 3 humidors which was reading 70%/71F before taking it out of his humidror and placed it in my new humidor with the LeViel. The LeViel still read 70%/78F and my neighbor's digital hygrometer read 78%/78F. I even placed the LeViel in the shower after getting it steamy to see if it would read higher than 71%. My Zykar went to greater than 90% ... the LeViel got to 71%. If you want a unit that is going to "tell you" that the humidity in your humidor is always "69-70%, have a fan cut on for a while" until that number is achieved "on the unit" ... then this is the one! However I don't believe based on my experiments that this device is an accurate HYGROMETER. Therefore I would not recommend - especially at the price of $90. Finally I would like to encourage those who have this device and previously praised it to compare it against a PROPERLY CALIBRATED, FREE STANDING DIGITAL HYGROMETER as well as those who purchase it to do the same. I'll be curious to see what experience you have.

For the first 3 months this product did what it was supposed to do then the fan started to make noise and would stop and I would have to start the fan with a toothpick and it would run for 2 to 3 weeks with a little bit of noise then it would stop again. I have finally given up on it.

I received the first one a few weeks ago. I plugged it in, let it go and had to leave town for 2 weeks. I came back and the humidity was at 85%. The problem was that the fan NEVER turned off. I had to throw away about 10 cigars. Luckily they weren't that great anyways. I called Thompson and exchanged it. I got the new one in and was SURE it would work this time. I put it in an old empty humidor and the same thing happened. The humidity was at 75% after a few hours even though it was set on 70%. So I gave up on it and went with the Cigar Oasis Excel. $20 more but well worth not having to hassle with humidity anymore. And with the XL you can turn it on its side too!

Very easy to set up, even though the directions are slightly lacking. Using my recently calibrated Xikar hygrometer i've found that the hygrometer on this unit reads about 4-6% high so I set my humidity to 66% instead of trying to calibrate this large humidifier. It almost instantly rehumidified my humidor from it being open for several minutes while I moved cigars around to make room for this thing. So far I'm very impressed with this device. I tried so many different passive humidifying devices and none of them could keep my humidor at the humidity levels I wanted. This was able to do it in about 10 minutes and keep it there. Definitely recommend this. The version 2 actually looks nicer, it's black with an almost clear water tank. It is a bit larger than I expected though, guess I didn't look that close at the size specs when I ordered.

My wife researched humidifiers extensively for my birthday and arrived at this product. The humidifier arrived damaged - the electronic control head would not turn on - we called Le Veil and were told that we must have broken the device. We had to pay to have the defective unit shipped back. When the "replacement" unit arrived, it was clearly the same unit that someone had worked on. The electronic control head did turn on, but the unit never functioned correctly. The fan would stay on continuously, driving the humidity down and drying out the reservoir (not to mention the cigars!) After a year of tinkering with the unit - I gave up and threw the whole thing away. Absolute junk - horrible customer service - DO NOT RECOMMEND and I will never purchase from this company again!

Good product, well made. I use it in a 100 ct hunidor and it seems to do a good job. Very easy to install and operate. That said, two limitations compared to the hydra...neither of which is major..but it may play a minor role in your purchasing decision and how you choose to install/use it: 1. This unit has a gel pack that has to be replaced annually (The Hydra doesn't) 2. The unit has to be upright...it's somewhat tall to begin with so this may limit how it can be installed in your humidor. The hydra can be laid on its side and gives you a little more flexibility that way. Overall, good unit and a good price. Recommended.

I recently Purchase a Humidor that hold 100+ Cigars. I had been using gel crystals to keep my cigars properly stored, which for the most part was working. However the need to add solution on a somewhat regular schedule just was not working for me. Assembly: Fast and simple, instruction could use better wording. However, the product is so self explanatory it did not mater once I looked it over. Functionality: placed it in my Humidor and left it for the 24 hours as stated(confession I did snick a stick out during that time). Bought the Humidor up to the proper humidity 68-70% within the 24 hours as stated. Took out a Hemmingway short story last night and ENJOYED it even more then before as the gel crystals could not regulate the humidity like this does. Much nicer cigar taste as they are not as dry. Overall: Gave it a 4 out of 5 being it has only been 3 days working.

Use it in my 100 ct humi. Bought every humidification product out there. Boveda packs, humi pillows, sticks, jars, passive sponge type humidifiers, you name it. Some were great, others not so much. But for some reason it all felt so temporary and with how much of a perfectionist I am, I needed some real security for my sticks. Plus the fact that I live in a desert really messes with my rH. I have some pricey sticks that I just can't risk ruining so I went with this product. Did my research and found this to be the most favorable option for my position, not to mention all the other great reviews. If you're as much of an OCD maniac as myself about your cigars, go this route. You won't regret it. It sets up in under 10 minutes and in less than an hour have you to 70%.(although I set mine to 68%). My mind is finally at peace.

Pros/Use: If you've ever stressed wondering whether or not your humidor has the right humidity, buy this product. It's worth the cost. Uses distilled H20. Comes a small and large reservoir, and it can be plugged into the wall, and doesn't require any drilling. Comparison: I own the Cigar Oasis. They are nearly identical. The main difference is the reservoir and how it's filled.

This is the best product I have ever used in my humidor. So easy to use, set it and forget it! I have been smoking for 30 years and can't believe that I waited so long to purchase this product. The bottom line is that it maintains perfect humidity, and my cigars burn and taste better. I keep anywhere from 150 to 250 cigars at all time, and have had no problems what so ever.

Ok now... I usually don't leave reviews but here goes.. The first unit that was shipped did not work and had to ship it back and what Thompson does not tell you is that you have to pay for a replacement unit that would be shipped to you or wait an unreasonable amount of time to get another one. I purchased this on the recommendations of the other reviewers which must've been Thompson employees. I received the second unit which finally worked but it does not keep my end table humidor proper. I am replacing the water every few days, since the fan keeps running. This unit is very disappointing and left a bad taste to ever do business with Thompson Cigars again. Oh by the way is what Thompson does not tell you that there is a one year guarantee on the unit but they only will honor thirty days, THEN you have to attempt to contact the company via email or fax only!!!! DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH THESE GUYS!!!!

Being a medical professional I research everything before I make a decision. The decision was between the Oasis or the Le Veil digital humidifier. The Le Veil humidifer came out on top on reviews, ease of use, dependability and cost. Have had it for about 3 weeks and am thoroughly pleased with my choice. Very easy to set up and in addition, set a digital hygrometer in my humidor to double check the Le Veil's accuracy. It holds the preset 70% humidity very well. Before it was a struggle to keep the proper humidity using the gel jars and low tech humidifiers attached to the humidor lid. Only problem is how to fill the low profile reservoir with water. No openings that I can find to add water. Other than that, I now really enjoy one my vice in life..smoking good quality cigars!

Let me start off by saying that before I make purchases like this I like to do my research. I have been smoking cigars for about 20 years. Up until about 6 months ago, I have used a small 50 count sized humidor I have had for years. I gave up years ago filling the plastic casing magnatized to the lid and had been using a simple small spice cup with a damp sponge and a cheap humidity gage. Six months ago, I invested in a large 250 count humidor that had 2 large metal/magnet humidifiers that stuck to the roof of the humidor. I have been fighting every single day with these trying to maintain the humidity. They were either too damp or too dry and the humidity level went from one extreme to the other every day. My everyday smoke is a Arturo Fuente Double Chateau or better and I smoke 2-3 a day. Obviously these are not cheap and I spend a good deal of money on my one vice in life. My cigars were not burning right and were either too damp or dried out and when I started throwing away perfectly good cigars with cracks in them from the fluctuating humidity I was not a happy camper. One day I went to a friends house and noticed he had a similar system (different brand) in his humidor. He told me how much he liked it and explained how easy it worked. I went home that night and started my research. After reading several dozen reviews online about the other systems out there I decided to go with the Le Veil. The fact that it was also the least inexpensive had nothing to do with my choice, it just had many more better reviews and is better built. The Le Veil arrived on the 7th working day as advertised. The box contained the actual system with the larger resevoir attached, a seperate thinner resevoir, electrical cord, extra O-rings, and 2 different sized lengths of flat cord that let you still close the lid (one was about 18", the other about 8"). The directions could not be any easier. I set the Le Veil on the bottom of my humidor but found I wouldn't have been able to put one of my top shelves back on due to it's height. I simply unscrewed the large resevoir off, put distilled H20 in the thinner resevoir and screwed it on instead. It made the unit much smaller and I was able to now put my top shelf back in place. I chose to use the smaller flat ribbon cord because it was plenty long enough and simply slid it into the side of the unit, hung it over the side, closed the lid and attached the other end to the electrical cord, then plugged it in. The fan came on and within about 15 minutes the unit came to exactly 70% humidity. It was that simple. It took about one minute to do all this. Note: You can adjust the humidity level up/down if you want a more moist or dry cigar, but 70% is perfect. My cigars are very happy with me now. They taste better, burn better and smell better. I can't believe I went all these years without one of these! Everytime I open the humidor lid it is exactly 70%. If you keep the lid open for awhile, the fan kicks on and raises the humidity right back up to 70% within seconds. This system does not have the option to use batteries but from everything I read on this the humidity sucks the juice out of them within a few days anyways. On other brands that do have the battery option, the battery compartment attaches on the bottom of the system's resevoir making it that much taller. Bottom line: I didn't need the battery option anyways. A friend came over the day after I put mine in, saw it and ordered one himself that night. This Le Veil system solved a HUGE problem for me, even my wife is happy I bought this! I guess throwing out cigars and complaining about the quality of the rest of them was making me grumpy. Now I'm back to supporting the American economy one cigar at a time. Long Ashes!

Item arrived in a box looking thrashed. Inside product looked fine and when hooked up worked fine. Very next day humidifier was off. Gave it the weekend to see if it would start back up. It didn't. I am returning it now and they are going to send me another one. Hopefully it works. I suspect it is more of a, got it from Thompson problem then the actual humidifier having issues.

I love this product. It keeps my humidor at 70 consistently. It was really easy to set up and put into use. The only drawback is it's kind of big for my humidor. I wish it was a little more compact.

Product works perfect, it's a true set it and forget it device. Keeps everything so fresh and humidity right on the money. Now I'm not afraid to buy the more pricey sticks. I have confidence knowing that all of my cigars remain fresh until I decide to enjoy them. My fault is, why did I wait so long to purchase. I looked at many of these in various brands, and I settled on this one because of the reviews it received and I'm glad I did. Almost bought an Oasis, but I'm glad I went with this brand.

I did a lot of research between the Le Veil and Cigar Oasis and couldn't decide which to buy after reading a bunch of mix reviews. So I bought both since I have 2 (150 cigar) humidors. I like the Le Veil better than Cigar Oasis XL mainly because it's much better made than Cigar Oasis and is much quieter. It also comes with 2 different size water containers. Although the Cigar Oasis XL does come with the option to use batteries. Only complain about the Le Veil is the calibration knob. It is very hard to get it to the right humidity even after following the user manual. I calibrated both my hygrometer and the Le Veil in a sealed container with a Tsp of salt and drops of distilled water in a smaller container. After 24 hrs, the Le Veil reads 80 while the hygrometer reads 75. So instead of adjusting the calibration knob some more, I just lowered the preset of 70 to 65. After weeks of monitoring, my hygrometer reads 72 constantly in the humidor. Hope this helps with others that are trying to decide which humidifier to buy.

Great service from Thompson. I purchased this product specifically for the short water cartridge to fit in my humidor; the cartridge was incompletely manufatured. It does not connect to the humidifier unit and has no open holes to fill with water. Thompson is exchanging. Looking forward to receiving the new one to see how well it works.

I have wanted to order one these for a while as I have always struggled with maintaining 70%... especially in the winter. I installed mine about a week ago using the smaller tank so I could keep my top shelf. I was getting a bit frustrated as the humidity was not really changing. I finally did some research and realized I had over filled the tank (left standing water up to the middle of the 2 open holes). So I drained off all the excess water and what do you know, within a day, it was right at 70%. I can already feel a difference with the softness of my cigars and have even brought some older/dried out ones back to life. Now I can order more expensive cigars by the box and not worry about drying them out.

I use this hygrometer in a plastic under bed storage tote to age cigars in their boxxes or bundles. It's perfect for this application because it came with both a lage and small reservoir. everytime I open it, it reads a perfect 70% RH. I even bought a second one.

When I first seen this I must admit I was skeptical about it. I did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews to get a feel of this little system and how it operates. The first 5 days were a little tricky because it required some attention as far as frequently refilling the reservoir because it was distributing a lot of humidity and the cedar and the cigars were absorbing it all until it reached its peak. I set mines at 65 relative humidity but you can adjust it to the your preference. But once it started working boy was it something. I had cigars in my humidor that were given to me and were slightly stale. This little gadget saved them. In a month they so soft as if they were just rolled, I couldn't believe it. I smoked one and the taste was tremendous and fresh. All my other cigars are in factory fresh condition aswell. I highly recommend this system because its very efficient in its operation. Think of it as an insurance policy for your investments (cigars).

I was hesitant to buy an electric humidifier after reading several reviews, but this one is great. My humidor has been at exactly the right humidity since I installed it, and installation was very easy. I recommend this to anyone, but especially the occasional smoker who wants to keep the supply fresh.

System works great, comes with two resevoirs, a full size one and a low profile one. Full size resevoir lasts about a month. The power cable fit perfectly underneath the lid and is unobtrusive. took about three days to level off the humidity and from then on it has maintained a perfect 70%.

When the humidity in the humidor dropped below the specified setting, the fan would not shut down resulting in an over humidification of the cigars. This continued to occur, even after numerous attempts to adjust the settings.

Awesome huidifier. I have had mine for several weeks now and the humidity level in my box has stayed at a constant 70%. By far the most reliable and easy system I have ever had. The unit is not designed for a small humidor as it is fairly large and takes up a fair amount of space. Based on my experiences thus far I will never go back to any other type of humidification system. 100% satisfied.

I have had difficulty maintaining my humidification systems in the past. I believe those days are over now. This humidifier is easy to set up and I haven't had to do ANYTHING to it since. I currently use it in a medium to large humidor. I immediately noticed an improvement in the feshness of my cigars. I am purchasing another one for my new 500 count humidor. This is the best humidification system I have ever seen or heard of. A+
