Users report light condensation appearing after opening the container in humid air or when adding room-temperature vials. Placing the unit deep in the freezer rather than on the door, keeping an insert in place as an air barrier, wiping out moisture, and adding desiccant packs reduces or eliminates the issue. Most participants conclude the moisture is not a major concern for the stored materials.
What this discussion establishesNothing here is advice.
I put one of the hydropeaks with the inserts on my freezer door. When I opened it to show my husband how organized everything is, I saw a little condensation inside. I added a clay pack but it did not cut down the sweating much. Is this something to worry about or is some moisture normal in the container?
Taking it out and opening it lets the cold mass hit humid room air and form condensation. I leave the top insert that holds vials in place even when empty so it works like an air dam and keeps the inside more like a deep freeze. Overall I do not worry about the moisture at all.
Did you put it in the freezer with the inserts and no lid before adding vials? That cools the whole thing down first and cuts condensation when room-temperature vials go in. I also keep mine deep in a drawer for steadier temperature because doors warm up every time they open.
I saw the same thing and got concerned when frost appeared inside. I know the contents stay stable through shipping temperature swings so I wiped the inside with paper towels and added a few desiccant packs. Thin fiber ones go between inserts and a larger silicone one sits on top. Since then there has been no more sweating or frost when I open it.
I will try that tomorrow morning. It is hot in the garage so that probably did not help. I will also move it deeper into the freezer or bring it to the inside freezer for a steadier temperature. I am excited that my supplies and storage are coming together. Next is reconstituting but I can wait on that since I do not need any right now.
Haha that made me laugh. It is fun when everything is new. The multiple daily pins can get tiresome though and I know a couple people who ended up looking like pin cushions.
I like needles since I enjoy acupuncture and tattoos but my midsection and thighs look odd right now with lots of little bruises. I am fine with it because no one sees those spots except my spouse.
I get moisture in my 3D printed cases when I add a new kit or take some out. I keep several moisture packs inside, wipe everything with a paper towel before closing, and put it back in the freezer.
