Don't know if it's the "proper way" to charge beads, but I just use a spritz bottle. for the vino, I open the door and mist some water on the inside of the door. for the cooler, I open the top and mist the underside of the lid. I've done the same for the inside of a glass-top humidor. then I close it up and let the beads/cigars spread throughout to absorb as needed. Usually doesn't take long, and since it's distilled water there is no residue left. been doing this for years with no noticable ill effects.
