a) have a buffer in the event of a power outage
b) the beads ammonia absorbing properties
Obviously the beads will not be the main humidifcation element , how much should i add. A percentage of the reccomended amount 25 , 50 , 75% or what the calculator reccomends? (probably gonna double the reccomended amount anyways , im gonna have space to spare just curoius as to what the gurus think) |
Sounds like a recipe for saturated beads. This would make them incapable of absorbing excess humidity should you have an upward spike.

This question is probably better off directed specifically to Scott or Michael. I think I recall one of them saying something about this combo before, but I can't remember if it was a yea or nay.
Regardless, I don't really see the point of it though. The HCM beads are 2-way and will maintain humidity as well as scavenge the ammonia. Why not just use them exclusively rather than mix with Heartfelt beads if the ammonia scavenging of the HCM is that important to you.

Never seen Cigar Sciences beads, I have no idea.
