QUORUM CELL — stable and effortless humidification
The Quorum Cell is the humidifier for standard humidors. Oasis foam, metal faceplate, flat placement — simple, effective, durable. To maintain 65-72% RH without daily monitoring.
How to recharge the Quorum Cell: remove the faceplate and soak the foam with a 50/50 propylene glycol + distilled water solution. Avoid excess: the foam should be damp, not soaked. Replace the plate and place it flat in the humidor.
What is the difference between the Quorum Cell and the Ventis Cell?
The Ventis Cell features an adjustable grid to modulate diffusion — ideal for humidors of highly varied sizes. The Quorum Cell is simpler — Oasis foam without adjustment. Both target 65-72% RH with a propylene glycol solution.
How often should I recharge the Quorum Cell?
The frequency depends on the volume of your humidor, the number of cigars, and the season. As a general rule: recharge when your hygrometer drops below 65% RH, or every 2-4 weeks for a 50-cigar humidor.
How do I set up the Quorum Cell for the first time?
The setup follows the same principle as recharging. Remove the faceplate, then gradually soak the foam with a 50/50 propylene glycol and distilled water solution. The foam should be damp, never soaked: wipe away any excess so that no drops bead. Replace the faceplate and place the humidifier flat in your humidor. Then, let the system stabilize for approximately 24 hours before storing your cigars, while monitoring your hygrometer. In a new cedar humidor, remember to season the wood beforehand so it doesn't absorb the humidity intended for your cigars.
Can I use tap water or just distilled water?
Tap water must be avoided: its lime content will gradually clog the foam and reduce its effectiveness, while its chlorine can alter the aromas of your cigars. Distilled water alone can work in a pinch, but it humidifies without regulating: the humidor may exceed the ideal zone if the foam is over-saturated. This is why the Quorum Cell is designed to work with a 50/50 propylene glycol and distilled water solution, which naturally tends toward 65 to 72% relative humidity: it releases moisture when the air dries out and limits excess. It is the guarantee of stable storage.
What is the difference between the Imperial Gold, Platinum Silver, and Onyx Black colors?
The difference is purely aesthetic and concerns the metal faceplate. All three colors rely on the same high-density foam principle and the same use with the propylene glycol solution. Imperial Gold complements gold hardware, warm woods, and classic-style humidors. Platinum Silver provides a contemporary touch, in harmony with brushed metal finishes or acrylic humidors. Onyx Black blends discreetly into a dark interior or a carbon fiber humidor. Choose the one that best harmonizes with your humidor: the effectiveness remains the same.
Does the Quorum Cell work in an acrylic humidor?
Yes. The Quorum Cell is primarily designed for Spanish cedar humidors, but it also works in acrylic humidors and display cases. One must simply take into account a difference: acrylic does not absorb or release moisture, unlike cedar which acts as a buffer. In an acrylic humidor, the humidifier is therefore the only source of regulation, and fluctuations may occur more quickly. Monitor your hygrometer more often, especially in the first few weeks, and recharge the foam as soon as the humidity drops below 65%. The propylene glycol solution will help you maintain a stable level.
How do I maintain the Quorum Cell and when should I replace it?
Maintenance is minimal. With each recharge, take the opportunity to remove the faceplate to inspect the foam. Use exclusively a propylene glycol solution or distilled water, never tap water. If the foam hardens, discolors, gives off an unusual odor, or shows the slightest trace of mold, replace the humidifier rather than attempting to clean it. Wipe the metal faceplate with a soft, dry cloth, without household products or abrasives, to preserve its finish. Never wash the foam with detergent: its residues and odors would be absorbed by your cigars.
