I have had this one for many months and it has kept my cigars at 70-80 (some fluctuation)but has never dried out cigars in my 50 count humidor.I have left it unchecked for 3 months and all is great, cigars taste great and no beetle larvae even at 80% humidity.

I had a 50ct, table top humidor that I just could not get the humidity to stabilize at all. I purchase the one of these for a 50ct humidor and so far it has been at 70 - 71 humidity. Awesome. All I wanted it to do is exactly what it does.

Although I own a small Humidor, this Humidifier didnt even increase the humidity levels one degree. I lost several cigars as a result. I preceeded to purchased a digital humidifier which within an hour provided the right levels. I would not recommend this product.

Got the Paradigm PSH2 about a month ago and followed the instructions for its use and it seems to be workin' fine so far!! No sides have fallen off like others wrote but I did replace the double sided tape that came with it for velcro strips and that has worked out great so far!! Had to remember that when startin' out that it does take time for the seasoned humidor and humidifier to adjust to each other and now its holdin' a good 68-70% in the humidor!!!

I started collecting and smoking cigars about 15 years ago. I purchased a good quality 50 cigar humidor and the Paradigm humidifier at the same time. It works flawlessly, needs only distilled water, and no issues with the ends popping off. I did not even know the ends were made to come off until I read some reviews many years later. This came in handy when I had a slight mold issue created by poorly kept cigars I purchased on vacation several years ago. I performed a sanitization procedure on the interior of my humidor. In addition I removed the sponge in the Paradigm, rinsed it with distilled water, and put it in the microwave for several seconds until steaming to sterilize. Works fine ever since and no mold. I've gone up to three months as well with no problems and keeps RH at 65-70%. (I calibrate my hygrometer about once a year.)

This is the second humidifier I have purchased, and while they work well as described, i just have them rest on the bottom of the humidor as the magnetic strip to mount it does not work at all. I will eventually figure out my own mounting method. But the proper humidity this unit does provide.

My experience was very similar to the other negative reviews of this product. The sticker/magnet assembly for installing the humidifier in my humidor was very poorly designed. It now just sits in my humidor unattached. The caps on the case fall off causing the sponge to be exposed. I now use a rubber band to hold the case together. It dries out in 7-10 days causing the humidity to fall. My experience was particularly disappointing given the price.

The design is good, but the materials are extremely not functional. The base is a metal plate that is suppose to adhere to the lid of your humidor with a peel and stick adhesive; mine had a protective film with no adhesive, so I used a good glue to attach the plate. Next, you soak the unit in distilled water for humidity; after soaking, the inner sponge swelled pushing the containment covers off and I had to secure them by other means to get them to stay on. Thought I was done at this point, but no; the magnetic plate on the humidifier (that is secured by a double-sided adhesive film) failed and I opened my humidor, after only a couple days, to find the humidifier on top on my cigars and the magnetic plate still attached to the metal plate on the humidor lid. Maybe it will work after fixing this last issue, but who knows.

The paradigm system is everything it boasts. Easy to install, simplistic in use, effective in application. I just wrote on my calendar when it needed to be recharged. Its that effective; I actually forgot about it upon getting used to the fresh cigars. Other systems made me work much harder to keep my "smokes" fresh.

What I needed because I tend to forget to rehydrate the humidifier. This one lasts long enough for me to get to it before my cigars dry out. I'm now getting better cigars and need to take care of them. I have a peace of mind now that I didn't before. The sides on mine don't fit on tightly, so when the sponge expands the sides pop off. I hold the sides on, shake out excess water, and it works just fine!

The side panels started falling off as soon as I opened it. I have to hold the unit together with a rubber band in the humidor.

I purchased the 50 cigar model for my 20 cigar humidor. I had previously simply been soaking the cheap little plastic sponge unit that came with it in distilled water, but my problem is that I live in the desert southwest. I was watering that darn sponge twice a week or more! I needed something that could facilitate less constant tending. Paradigm fits that bill. In the month and 1/2 that I have had it I have had to soak it only twice, when it came to me, and then once more a week ago. For living in a desert climate where 30% humidity is considered high, and given that my home does not have air conditioning or swamp cooling, I consider that more than acceptable. I love this product and will be ordering more of them when I get bigger humidors.

I purchased the Paradigm in the hopes that it would keep my cigars at the best humidification level since I haven't had much luck with the standard system that is delivered with the Humidors. It's become a "no-brainer" decision. It works perfectly. It keeps my cigars at a constant 70% humidity. It should work consistently for 3 months; however, as recommended, You'll need to recharge the Paradigm sooner during the 1st time you use it, after that you're good for 3 months. I would recommend this product 1000 times over.
