My Humidor arrived yesterday...I will be posting pictures soon...But I have a question...

The humidor came with a HYDRA LG humidifier.  I do NOT have the extension fans for it.  I have purchased some usb powered fans as well as a larger Humidifier.  I prefer the USB fans to the Hydra extension fans as they are larger and won't have to spin as fast to move the air and therefore quieter...Not to mention I need the USB fans if I don't use the Hydra  so keeping them separate is the way to go.  The humidor has a double outlet in the interior.  

This is my quandary...IF I need to use the Hydra in conjunction with the new LeVeil humidifier...I count 3 outlets needed...one for each humidifier, and one for the timer on the USB Fans...but there are only 2 outlets available. 

Some of you may have similar issues if you have cooling units, lights, etc.  I want to avoid snaking anything out (ribbon cable or what ever) of the doors, and I really do not want to drill into the back and try to seal...

So are there any concerns with the high humidity in regards to power strips and or other adapters?  Is there a specific spec or feature I should look for?   

I thought I was wrong once....but I was mistaken....

That's a great question. Wonder if another option is one of those multi-plugs you just plug into the outlet. Would get tight with the timer though.

Also glad you mentioned the usb fans. I have the fans for Hydra LG and want to get them on their own timer, sounds like I need to go the same route you did.
This is not the admin you're looking for...

I was just looking at Amazon...and saw this.... https://www.amazon.com/SOCKiTBOX-Model-Weatherproof-Electrical-Large/dp/B018HHMBW2/ref=pd_rhf_gw_p_img_7?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=S0SWASAPNQP9A6MH3NNX   and I think it could solve a lot of problems as it is meant to protect from the outdoors...think christmas lights and keeping them dry...  I am sure I can find a power strip/surge protector to fit inside and in that manner solve my issues...

any other thoughts???

Oh,BTW ninfiction... I have not yet used them for their intended purpose...So I can't attest to their reliability...But this is what I got to circulate the air...  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IJ2J2K0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1   I have a timer and then a USP adapter plugged into the timer...The fans will be plugged into the adapter.  To this point...they appear to be very well made.  While the packaging is plain on the exterior, it is packed in foam and such quite well on the inside.

Yes.  Yank that green foam out of the humidifier and replace it with unscented floral beads. https://tableclothsfactory.com/products/clear-small-round-deco-water-beads-jelly-vase-filler-balls-for-centerpieces-table-decoration?variant=46823891279&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIufH14P-P2gIVTgOGCh2q-gR3EAQYASABEgJ7lvD_BwE.

Cheap, easy, never mold, holds distilled water for 4-6 weeks at a time .

i use the real small beads for agriculture in mine. a teaspoon makes a large gel up nice. i bought ten pounds years ago and i haven't dented it. the ones i use don't rehydrate past a certain point and i never seem to catch it. i just wait until the alarms go off. i like the no mold factor.
