ebay beads
 

Anyone ever use those Humi beads you can find on ebay for dirt cheap? Just wondering if they are any good.

is Shilala the person that sells them on ebay? Sorry for the newb questions.

Re: ebay beads
 

Without knowing what type of beads you are referring to, it's hard to make an assessment.

Re: ebay beads
 

Looks to me that you may be referring to Heartfelt Beads, who is a member here as well.

Re: ebay beads
 

That is but one good option. It certainly isn't the only one.

My bad didnt realize you where new here.... I wouldnt buy ebay beads. That just me though.

See below link... Scott just got back from vacation and is trying to settle in. He might need a few days.

http://www.heartfeltindustries.com/ also sells beads.

65% is my recommendation.

You should also head over to the New Inmate forum and introduce yourself.

Re: ebay beads
 

thanks for the advice. I have some from Heartfelt, but need to get some more. I saw a seller on ebay selling 1/2 pound bags for 5 bucks. All of the feedback from pervious sales of his/her beads were positive.

Re: ebay beads
 

great idea.

Re: ebay beads
 

You get what you pay for....I would use someone whose feedback is from people I know and trust here. :2

Re: ebay beads
 

:tpd: Nothing worse than trying to save a few $ on beads and having your cigars not getting the proper care...but we've all been there...don't skimp on the necessities for proper storage.:2

Re: ebay beads
 

I agree with Tom, folks here have an endless amount of knowledge of everything cigar & cigar related. And, you can't do any better than Shilala's beads! Good luck either way.

I have used cigarmony.com

Their beads are pretty good. I think they are pretty much the same ( heartfelt and cigarmony ) until you get to shilala's beads. I think his are clay based. None the less I would go with a reputable company for the few more dollars you would spend versus eBay's beads.

O ordered some Dry Mistat-like tubes from an eBay seller once. There were lot's of issues with the way they were packaged etc. but the seller had excellent customer service skills. I was happy in the end with the overall experience but still did not use his product.

I have found Heartfelt and Shilala beads to both be very effective. I think the Shilala beads are better overall due to the lack of maintenance.

Yes/No

Re: ebay beads
 

I started w/ the cheapies from ebay. They worked for great for about 2 months then crapped out. Might as well get the ones that work.

Re: ebay beads
 

I use the Heartfelt Beads and couldn't be happier. Dave is a fellow cigar enthusiast and his customer service is unbeatable. He 100% guarantees you will be satisfied. Maintenance on the beads is very minimal and they keep my humi at a rock-steady 65% RH. I trust the beads more than my digital hygrometer.

Re: ebay beads
 

I just ordered some heartfelt beads to go along with my Le Veil humidifier. Hoping they will keep spikes from occurring.

Re: ebay beads
 

The only beads I found listed on Ebay were from Cheap Humidors and $15 a half pound . I've only ever used Heartfelt and have no reason to switch , steady and dependable .
