The first time I clicked on his link it came up as Niacin B3 and I couldn't find that brand by searching Colloidal Silver.If only you had posted that elsewhere in this thread Tom..... Jeff wouldn't have had to of asked.![]()
Do you put this in your Aristocrat humidifiers? I remember your custom cabinets well but can't remember if it was THC/electric or driving off beads. This silver notion is new to me so trying to get a sense of if it is something I should be looking into.20ppm, IIRC...

I've been using this in my humidifier cans for some time; 2 oz 20ppm to a gallon of distilled water. There are some beads in the cabinet for 'ballast' but the primary humidification comes from the cans. Good memory, my cabinet is temp / RH controlled. I haven't noticed any difference with the silver, other than the complete lack of any mold spores. Which is very good. I've also used the solution to gently wipe some smokes with some traces of wrapper mold....completely gone.Do you put this in your Aristocrat humidifiers?

I am doing the exact same thing for about 10 years at least.

The other guys might do it differently than I use to. When I had a wineador I would add the silver to my spray bottle with my distilled water.. Then I used that solution to wet my beads. Now I add it to my oasis magna with the distilled water.I know the OP is old, but since this has gotten some new traffic, I thought it better to use this than clutter up the forum with another thread on this topic, hope it’s still considered active. I’m still feeling the place out a bit.
I had my first issue with mold this week, while calibrating hygrometers, rotating cigars, and such. It was an old box of Tatuaje cigarillos, which luckily were in a tightly closed box. I tossed them. This colloidal silver thing is a brand new thing I’ve never heard of, but sounds like it’s an excellent idea.
How would I deploy this in a wineador with beads? My wineador has about 2# of heartfelt beads, and there is enough cedar and cigars in it, it will be OK without them for a day or two. I’m thinking of leaving the bead bag out overnight to dry out, then giving them a good soaking in the 2 oz/gallon solution Tom recommends (and his brand), then leaving them out to dry out a bit, getting them back into the humidor to stabilize it again over a few days.
Is this a sensible approach? Or is there a better way? It’s so stable I don’t add water often, and that’s like a shot glass full every few months, so I don’t think I’d get much benefit out of not trying to introduce a lot into the wineador at once. But having been saved from self-induced disaster with humidification in my first foray onto the site, I’m not doing anything any more without checking with the experts.
Also, does the silver stay with the beads or evaporate with the water? It sounds like I keep recharging the beads with this solution, not just distilled water, like you would with a PG system where the PF stays in the sponge. But I don’t know what I don’t know on this topic.
Thanks in advance!

Same.This is what I do...
