If you want to check your beads to see what they're doing, just stick them in a ziplock with your hygrometer. After an hour or so, maybe sooner, it will show you the setpoint of your beads.
Another thing...
You didn't mention what RH your cigars had been. They may just be drawing up the moisture faster than the beads can put it out. It's super important to have enough beads, too. Rather than switching beads, maybe add some more, or try Michael's beads. (cigarnut up there^)
His beads offer mo0re than 500% more available water than the ones you're using, and they give up the water to the air over 800% faster. They might be able to keep up. |
Thanks Scott, there's a wealth of knowledge on this site. All one has to do is look. I couldn't find anything about Michael's (cigarnut) beads. How do they compare to your's? And how do they both compare to heartfelt's? I know Shilala's beads are legendary around these parts.
