The
Paradigm humidification system is a byproduct
of the aerospace industry - being designed by
engineers, and using techniques and materials
from that industry. The design is unique, in that
it has solved all the shortcomings in conventional
humidifiers:
| * |
It
uses a special, evaporative material, NOT
common florist's foam, that doesn't dry out
on its outside surface. The water continually
"wicks" from the interior to the
surface, so the evaporative rate remains constant.
Your cigars are evenly moisturized as long
as there's water in the unit. |
| * |
The
medium holds almost twice the water per cubic
measure, so you need only add water ever two
to three months, instead of days or weeks.
|
| * |
The
material is much more efficient as an evaporative
medium. In a long-term test, it held a humidor
at 70% relative humidity, even though the
room humidity was 30%. |
| * |
The
evaporative material doesn't break down over
time. |
| * |
It
is bacteriostatic and fungistatic. |
The
case design is unique, with patent pending. All
other humidifiers have moisture vents on their
faces, and the cigars directly beneath them catch
the brunt of the humidity. This causes them to
swell and crack, or to unravel. The vents in the
Paradigm units are on the ends, so the moisture
is distributed indirectly and more uniformly throughout
your humidor.
The cases are 6063 aluminum
extrusions, not plastic. The aluminum is uniformly
coated - both inside and out - with a high-temperature-cured
black satin polyurethane. This coating renders
the aluminum totally inert, and it is so corrosion
resistant it can be dropped in the ocean for a
year with no degradation.
