The nice thing is that if you have a sealed humidor then you just put Scott's beads in and forget them.

If your humidor is leaky then it does not matter whose beads you are using, you are going to have a lot of maintenance to do...
I have ised "other" commercial beads and by far Scott's beads were superior. He ships them at 65% which is my preffered RH as I find 70% to be wet and causes many burn issues.

As to the hygrometer, they all suck IMO. Had many different digital flavors and none really stayed accurate, average battey lasting about 6 months. I put fresh batteries and re-cal every now and then, but as Scott's beads are so rock solid and use way more beads than required the humis and coolador stay perfect.
