Why should I use XIKAR PG Solution
instead  of distilled water or 50/50?
It is important that we
inform  consumers that a 50/50 PG solution will eventually clog up a foam or
crystal  humidifier - the 50% PG stays behind much longer than the 50% water. 
The PG  ratio in your humidifier slowly goes from 50/50 to 75/25 to near 100% PG
with  each refill.  Too much PG will pull all of the humidity out of the air!
(100% PG  will dehumidify to nearly 0% RH).
A humidifier "clogs" as the
PG/water ratio  gets too rich in PG, regardless of what material is used to hold
the solution.  Green foam and crystals are only necessary to keep the solution
from sloshing  around or dripping out of a humidifier that is turned upside
  down.
Consistent use of a 50/50 blend of PG/water will clog a
  humidifier over time. XIKAR PG solution is blended in a proprietary ratio to
  ensure the ratio of PG/water in your humidifier does not get too rich in PG.
  Maintaining the right ratio of PG/water is critical-- if the mixture gets off
in  either direction you are over or under humidifying your prized sticks.
Refill  your humidifiers with XIKAR PG Solution every time and use a XIKAR
Hygrometer to  take the guesswork out of humidification!
