need bead help and advice

I also recommend the Heartfelt beads. I use the tubes in all of my humidors. I also use a pen type hygrometer and just move it from humidor to humidor to test the RH and temp.

Nothing against Heartfelt, but I really like Scott Shilala's beads (the link above that won't work for you). You can search some of the other threads for info regarding Scott's beads.

The nice thing is that if you have a sealed humidor then you just put Scott's beads in and forget them.

If your humidor is leaky then it does not matter whose beads you are using, you are going to have a lot of maintenance to do...

I have ised "other" commercial beads and by far Scott's beads were superior. He ships them at 65% which is my preffered RH as I find 70% to be wet and causes many burn issues.

As to the hygrometer, they all suck IMO. Had many different digital flavors and none really stayed accurate, average battey lasting about 6 months. I put fresh batteries and re-cal every now and then, but as Scott's beads are so rock solid and use way more beads than required the humis and coolador stay perfect.

How do I get the links on this sight to work? All that I have tried gives me the same error. It says I dont have access yet. I would be intrested to see Scotts beads but can't make the link on his posts work. I am ordering the heartfelts this morning. I can always buy more/different in the future.

Once you reach so many posts and are a member for a certain length of time, all these wonderful doors open.

Patience.

In the meantime, pm shilala and I'm sure he could give you all the info you need to make an informed decision.
