Beads and Cigar juice
 

I have just bid on a new humidor on the "devil's site" and am most likely going to win. I hope. And pray. I need a humi. Bad. At least a 75 capacity.

Anyway, I digress. After bidding on said humidor, I had decided I would go the humi-care gel route for humidification. So, I thought I'd bid on some Cigar Juice PG 70/70 solution to go with it. I am also unfortunately going to win this.

Well, turns out I decided I'd rather have some lifetime lasting RH beads from heartfelt instead, which I ordered.

So! After that somewhat lengthy exposition on my situation, my question is thus: Can I use the Cigar Juice with the RH Beads, or only distilled water? I have read in ONE place that the PG 70/70 juice will clog and destroy the RH beads and is unnecessary. If this is the case, I am out $6 for nothing. :bh

Thanks very much.

I AM NOT AN EXPERT... That being said...

I don't think you should use the solution with the beads. My understanding is the calibration in the beads could be severely damaged by adding another solution designed for a similar purpose.

Stick with distilled water with the beads! :tu:

Only distilled water with Heartfelt or Cigarmony beads. I would also avoid using the PG with a second humidifier in the same container. Hold on to the PG and the gel. You can give to a newbie who cant afford to upgrade to beads or put it together with your next donation to the troops. :tu

This is a good idea. I didn't get the gel, but I'll keep the juice for that reason.

Thanks everyone. And it's only $6 right? Feh. No biggie now that I've had time to think about it. :banger

Bob is wise.

Honestly, if you are worried about $6.00 then you may want to reconsider hobbies :)

That said, distilled water only...

Eric, that's way your my friend and brother! :banger

I'm not worried about spending money. Not too much anyway. Just about buying things I don't need where the money could have been used better... like say, a $6 cigar! ;)

I received a bottle of cigar juice way back when I first started this fine hobby. I never used it tho because I was scared to death of how the juice looked. It was brown and had nasty lookin floaties in it. Ended up pitching it. Distilled water is the only way to go!

Re: Beads and Cigar juice
 

Do not use the cigar juice. It contains propylene glycol. Gylcol will ruin the beads.Use distilled water only!
