Anyone tried Aqua Gems?

[icehog3]

How did you decide they were "the same stuff that all the other bead manufactures use"?

Also, from their website:

Just add water to rehydrate the AquaGems. Over weeks, liquid beads will slowly lose water through evaporation and as your growing plants or fresh-cut flowers drink the water. This rehydration process can be repeated many times.

Many times? My beads have lasted for years and years, certainly this implies that the aqua-gems will not.

Also can't see anywhere on the site a set humidity level. You say the gems have kept your humidor at 70%...any idea why?

My opinion? I am not going to risk thousands (or hundreds, depending on your collection) of dollars worth of cigars to save $20 on my humidification source....but hey, that's me.
