how much beads should I buy for an El Diablo Humidor??? It's the same one as the Rivalla humidor on Cigarmony.com

Find out the dimensions of your humidor.
Find out the interior volume.
Buy beads to suit.

i'm too lazy to do that...lol...figured someone in here has the same humidor and could help me...:-)

No worries. You said it's 300ct. I'm going to venture a guess that 1 pound of 70% Heartfelt beads and at least one fan of some sort will get you set up proper.

I don't have that humidor but 5-10 pounds should do it.

Based on the info from Cigarmony.
Dimensions (Outside): 18 3/4" W x 11 5/8" D x 10 1/4" H = ~2234 cubic inches

5 ounces of beads is sufficient for 2700 cubic inches.

I gotta go take a nap now.

When i recharge my beads, should I use my mist bottle through the mesh bag, or take them out, spray, and put back in?
[Reply]

while I dont have mine in mesh bags, I use pantyhose and I just take them out of the humi and put them in a bowl and mist them then roll them around to make sure all the water is absorbed

EDIT: just to clarify I do not take the beads out of the pantyhose.

I pour mine out of their tubes and bags into a click-lock tupperware container. Mist water with a spray bottle, cover, shake and repeat until roughly 80% are clear then pour back into their containers. Fastest way I've found to do it.

coolthx

It's also worth using a regular wire strainer from your kitchen and using it to shake out the dust and smaller bead fragments. I used to always have white chunks and dust throughout my humidors before I did this.
