Oasis Guitar Products OH-5 Plus Guitar Humidifier
Oasis OH-5 Plus
While the original Blue Oasis provides sufficient humidity in many environments, it is not effective everywhere. The humidity demands of the desert, mountain states or frigid north exceed the humidification capacity of the device. For this reason, Oasis developed the Oasis Plus+ humidifier. The Plus+ is the same size and shape as the original blue Oasis, but is made of a different material that provides 50% more humidity output.
Because the Oasis Plus+ Humidifier is the same size as the original Blue Oasis and it has 50% greater humidity output, it will be necessary to refill the Oasis Plus+ more frequently than the original Blue Oasis.
If one is using a hygrometer, Oasis recommends that the Oasis Plus+ be used when the room humidity is below 25%. The original Blue Oasis should be used when the surrounding room humidity is between 25-40%. Above, 40%, you should not be using a humidifier.
It is important to also to monitor the humidity inside your instrument case. Case size, design, material and other factors will impact the humidity permeability of each case. While general rules are helpful, a good hygrometer located inside the instrument case will give you the best information regarding proper humidification requirements.

$27.99 compared to the cost of repairing a Taylor 12-string? It's a no brainer if you don't have a humidity-controlled room. I fill mine on Sunday evenings. So far the guitar has absorbed 96ml of water since January 3. It's easy to use, spill-proof, hasn't leaked... I'm really pleased with this little humidifier.

When I bought my Martin 000-15M at L&M, I bought this Oasis humidifier at the salesperson's recommendation. I'm sure glad I did! Since then, I've learned much more about how solid-wood guitars are very sensitive to humidity. During a MB winter, the dry air pulls moisture out of the wood, eventually causing it to crack. But with the Oasis installed, it keeps the wood healthy, protecting your investment. And the design of the Oasis is brilliant! It's filled with little beads that turn the water into a gel, so it won't leak. So if you have a nice guitar, keep it that way... get an Oasis of our dry winter months!

Second Winnipeg winter protecting my Larrivee D-02 and am happy I bought this. I have several older acoustics that I have not humidified but the salesman suggested, strongly, that I do so with this guitar. So, I did as it's pretty cheap compared to the cost of a new Larrivee. I would recommend. Haven't had any problems with leaking.

So, my leak-proof oasis humidifier just started leaking! Used it for 4 months and never allowed the strings to scratch the fabric to cause potential damage to the unit. Leaking is not at any seam. Glad I noticed it before sticking it in my Taylor. Won't be buying another one.
