Default Re: More Beads?

I forgot how much hf recomended for my vino but I ended up getting 2lbs which is way more than enough. I like it cause when I open up the vino it bounces back very fast.

Also I almost never have to recharge. I put a few shot glasses of water in there for a couple days every couple months and I'm golden.

I would stick with hf if it's been working for you brother.

Remember if it ain't broke don't fx it!

I use Shilala beads exclusively and they are great, virtually maintenance free, but I've heard just as many good reports on HF. I would probably add another 8 ounces just for the quicker bounce-back.

Would it be OK to buy some Shiala beads to "help out" with the HF beads, or is mixing the beads like dividing by zero?

That would be fine. No worries.

How are the "Shiala" beads different? Should I stick with the HF beads? Should I get more or am I ok with the 8 oz.?

Thanks
How do your cigars smoke?
Fine? Then don't worry about it, no reason to change or add more.

Recently "not fine"? Did something external change? Did you do something that might have changed the dynamics in the cooler (like drastically more or less cedar boxes or cigars)? Have your tastes changed?

Never "fine"? Are you sure you aren't chasing a "grass is greener on the other side" situation? Why would you wait 4 years to deal with poor humidification.

I would pose that question to Scott or Michael directly. There are some differences between them, and I can't remember Scott's answer the last time that question was asked.

But seriously. Don't try to fix what ain't broken. It will be much easier to give a useful answer if you give us a goal. Something like, "my RH fluctuates wildly under the following conditions", or "I've heard that maybe I need more beads, but what's the real scoop", etc.
