Combining Bead Types

I think the way you add water to the 2 types is different. So, I don't think you would want to mix them together into one container. After that, it's just dumb water vapor. Why don't you try putting them in the new 'dor in separate containers and watch over a few days or weeks? Report back - you're an experimenter now.

In my oldest humidor which is not very air tight, I use both beads types but in their own containers. I rewet the Heartfelt beads and that helps to keep the HCM beads steady. This is the humidor where I dry box cigars and store my plugged sticks until they hopefully draw better.

I think Tom nailed it. That being said, I would leave the KL for the kitties, you couldn't pay me to put that stuff next to my cigars
