The directions stated to apply one fluid ounce of distilled water per 1 pound of beads. I think I screwed up and added more like 3-4. Did I screw up?

My thinking is I'm not overly concerned as my humidors are fairly new and despite seasoning, I reckon the wood will absorb more moisture. Correct?

Lastly, David at Heartfelt is a hell of a guy. Fast ship and great communication throughout the order despite my n00b status :-).

Just go to his Set-up page and your questions should be answered my friend.

Like larry said but I think a hair dryer will air/dry them out. You want some to be white and some to clear. like 30/70 mix.
Clear=Water (let out H20)
White=dry as a bone (absorb extra H2O)

Just like Ken said! :-)

"The optimal is to have about 60% to 70% of the beads clear. Don't try to get them all clear because if you do they cannot absorb any sudden rise in humidity in your humidor."

Thanks guys :-)

I'm sure we have all done that @ one point.

Another tip you might not have heard, I don't pour water in mine. I use a small mist bottle and it works great.
[Reply]

Will be doing the mist technique next time. Thanks :-)

Just to update the thread, I ordered 70% beads and surprise surprise, both humidors are at EXACTLY 70% according to my two independent hydrometers. How's that for a slice of fried gold?

I have never heard of these beads...are they any good? whats the difference between these and other humidification devices
[Reply]

Humidity beads are the best in my opinion. Other humidity devices only release humidity uncontrolled. Beads lower and raise humidity to your desired preference.

They're best thing since sliced bread. Try them, you wont be sorry.

BTW, Brad, I have 1-1/2 lbs of 65% beads from Shilala in my vino and it sits at a rock solid 65%. :-)

Ahh, I had bought a humi once and they threw in 1/2 lb of heartfelt beads in a sealed plastic bag. I decided to transfer about half into a nylon bag. I know what you mean!! :-)
