Shilala is the MAN when it comes to beads. I can't say enough good about them. I have 24 ounces in my vino and haven't had to even charge them in ages. 67% and no worries, keep it on 67 degreees.

get some beads from heartfeltindustries.com I have a pound of 65% beads and the RH is sitting pretty. Add some spanish cedar if you want the RH a little lower. I ordered 3/8 x 4 x 36 for shelves from woodcraft.com

I would have gotten beads from Shilala but I have so much extra from taking down my humidors and moving all the goodies into the Vino..I will say my special stock has Scott's beads in it and I never have to worry about anything.

I'm rocking steady with Heartfelt beads. Whichever you choose, I'm sure you'll be happy.

Unplug the Vino. Its unlikely you will need temp control in your part of the country until next summer, unless you heat your house to above 80. 1 pound of beads is good, 2 better. Fill the vino. Either with smokes or at the very least empty boxes. This will help regulate the humidity and keep it more stable. Put your hygro inside a box of smokes. That is where the humidity counts, not the ambient air in the Vino.
