First, you need a humidifying device. This is a simple passive device that will help regulate the humidity in your humidor. Most are constructed of wet-style Oasis floral foam encased in plastic for mounting within the lid of your humidor. Some humidors come with this item, but most of ours do not, leaving you the flexibility to select your own.
Second, you will need "Charging Solution." This is a 50/50 mixture of propylene glycol (PG) and distilled water. The interaction of the PG with the water molecules is what actually regulates the relative humidity (RH) within your humidor. This is used to initally charge your humidifying device; afterwards you will just need to add distilled water on an as-needed basis.
And finally, you may wish to buy a hygrometer, which will help you monitor the RH within your humidor and alert you when you need to add more distilled water. These are available as either a simple analog device or a small battery-operated digital meter.
