Ok...first off thanks to you people for giving me the cigar bug even worse than I previously had...now I had to upgrade my 75ct display humidor to this 600ct I just bought....now I have a cigar oasis in my 75ct that does the job really well but I am uncertain what I need for this 600ct humi....any thoughts? I was looking at the Heartfelt beads but these seem really expensive unless I am missing something...need some advise as I have already broken the bank in a week since joining this place!
:-)
This thing is what I bought and for not a lot of money:

That is a nice looking humi... congrats. I would go with 2 lbs of 65% beads - preferably Scott's.

Beads are worth it. They tell you how much to buy for different size humis. You need to fill that up soon, SCHIP is coming in but two short weeks!

What are Scott's beads? I have never heard of them. Are they cheaper than the heartfelt?

Yeah, I have a bunch on the way! Are the beads reusable or do they need to be replaced? How long do they last? Sorry for the stupid questions but I have never used them.

Kitty Litter will not help. There is no evidence to support them. Shilala did the research and you might need more than enough to fill your humi to even be effective. Spend the $30 or so to buy RH or HCM beads, then you won't have to monkey with anything.

You may not want to do that. Read all the threads about the litter here and you will find out they aren't what you would want to go with.
You beat me to it.

I started with the heartfelt beads, and now use Shilala's beads for everything and swear by them. they
WORK.
Don't use kitty litter. You
WILL regret it one day. Compared to the money you spend on cigars and a nice case, the money for the beads is small... but will save you weeks of headaches in the future. And the beads will pretty much last forever.

Holy Batman that’s a nice humidor! Congratulations! And yes, hurry and buy as many of your favorites cee-gars before the tax man shows up and kicks all of us in our happy spots.

Don't cheap out on the humidification. You spend a ton of money on cigars, don't let questionable humidification ruin them. I use Heartfelt and hardly ever have to worry about them. I'd be using Scott's if I had known about them when buying my humidors, damn newbie...
