Empty Humidity Tubes

hammondc · 01-06-2023, 07:11 AM

Is there a place I can buy empty humidity tubes/pucks? I have a bunch of beads from heartfelt. I just need some tubes. The ones I have had for years are getting brittle and the caps don't stay on anymore. Just dumped a whole tube of beads on the floor. I am sure I will be finding those for years to come.

I switched to using the bags that brewers use for hops, they're basically long sleeves tied off on one end that you pour the beads in and tie the other end. usually about a buck a piece at any homebrew store

Heartfelt still has tubes listed on their site.

I've got a variety of vessels that I use for beads and KL. Old cigar coffins with a piece of nylon taped on top work great

Recycled pantyhose work.

So, I can tell some of you find my pantihose suggestion odd. Back in the USENET days, it was a common suggestion for a way to use beads. You fill a section of the legging and tie it up like a sausage. I've got a coolerdor operating with one now.

I really shouldn't have responded here. I sense no good can come from it...

nylon is a great material.
