DIY Humidi Tube Help

[Chemyst]

I used an aluminum cigar tube, but drilled the holes
using my fingers. Do not go through both sides of
the tube. That way the burrs are only on the inside.
Nobody cares about burrs on the inside.

You might try some nylon stockings or fish tank
skimmer net, with some modification. Make a
little pouch out of the material.

How big is this 'travel' humi?

I used a churchill sized Romeo tube . Drilled alot of holes , filled with beads and have not had any problems with it . I have read on the forums that if you soak the beads , they will fracture and become smaller pieces over time , so I don't think it's the burrs inside the tubes that are causing them to break . I'm pretty sure Dave from Heartfelt confirmed the fracturing of beads when placed directly in water . Also because aluminum is a softer metal it can stick to your drill bit and cause the drill to not work as well(loads up on the tip). I have a Cohiba tube that I plan to do the same too .
