Active Humidification & Water Gel

[Sadden]

Hello everyone. I am enjoying my aristocrat quite alot. I am looking at improving the S&F by changing out the wick for some water gel beads. http://www.crystalwaterbeads.com/who...s-choose-color


Some of you are going to ask why.

Well Bob recomends changing the wick out every 3 months. At 15$ ea. thats 60$ a year on wicks. A bag of these costs 20$ and will last presumably several years. Also more surface area is going to mean that the S&F will be able to bring the humidor back up to 65% faster than with just the wick.

So has anyone done this?

We have used them before for decorations. Even just using shitty tap water it took well over a year before they got janky. And that was with twigs and flowers and womanly decorative crap getting moved in and out of them all the time.
