Cigar humidor as mod/liquid storage?

[thomas.egnoto]

I've been looking through some of the threads on storage solution. I was particularly interested by the Vapestation, but decided to explore some other options. I'm looking for something really elegant to hold all my gear and liquids, and am entertaining the idea of picking up a cigar humidor with dividers to hold everything. Anyone have any experience with this? Do you think the higher humidity would damage the liquid or mods?

I'm also looking at a couple of men's valet boxes, but most of the compartments look a little small to hold the bigger items I'd be storing in it.

Go to your local cigar shop and see if they have any empty boxes. They'll usually sell the small ones for less than $10 and the bigger ones for not much more.

You could use a humidor, just don't use the humidification devices that come with it. Google humidors, there are plenty out there that are reasonably priced.

As AlexB said, check out the empty boxes in a cigar shop near you. Sometimes you will find some really nice boxes, although they will likely be small.

The problem with valet style boxes may be the velvet/silk/felt materials that line them. A one way, non reversible ooey-gooey mess waiting to happen. Pretty perhaps, but think of something more robust and easier to clean. (Sorry, I'm just blank on it right now.)

Ding! Take a look in Pier1. Some times they get all sorts of different decorative boxes, jewelry type multi-compartment boxes etc. They typically have no linings in them. Styles can be all over the place.

How bout one of these: http://www.harborfreight.com/eight-drawer-wood-tool-chest-94538.html

Might not be to good for larger juice bottles, but it would do a good job holding everything else. Not real fancy, but doesn't look that bad either. I'm thinking about getting one of these myself, as I keep my juices in a cabinet anyway.

Went to Harbor Freight just now and picked up one of the wood tool chest. The top will hold 30ml bottles standing up. The one I got is pretty nice for the money, and will look better than the odds and ends of plastic things I have been using.

Since my wife doesn't smoke/vape and we have a small child, my vape gear is stored in the garage on my workbench. Since the temperature fluctuates so much in there (40-50 degrees in the winter and 80-100 degrees in the summer), I need to keep my liquids in giant freezer bags in the house. This is kind of a pain because I have to go to another room, find the liquids by digging through the bags, and when I'm done put them back again. I would love to have a solution that allows me to keep the liquids with my other gear in the garage, and prominently display them as well.

I started looking into larger humidors and found two on Amazon that look very cool.

This one goes for $86:
Amazon.com - Prestige Import Group Milano Countertop Display Humidor - Decorative Boxes

This one goes for $160:
Amazon.com - Retail Display 7 Humidor

Has anyone tried this method for storing liquid? Is there really a way to use the humidor to keep the temperature around 70 degrees without turning on the humidity? If the humidity cannot be turned off, what would that do to the liquids?

Thanks,
Bill

I would also say that a humidor would work great as long as you remove the humidifying component. I believe high humidity would potentially have a negative impact on your hardware.

Thanks Joe. I may pull the trigger on the $86 one. I'll likely keep my mods and other hardware outside on some acrylic stands I ordered from SlowTech.

I am a strictly function sort of gal. I just got a 3 tiered large tackle box at wal mart and called it done.
