Yes - the more beads you use, the longer you can go without recharging them; and if your humi is not particularly airtight using more beads will keep you from having to recharge them every few days. Your tradeoff is the space they take up in your humi.

Having more beads won't over humidify but will increase the efficiency in which they will recover RH and reduce the frequency between adding water to them. I hope this helps ~Mark |

Whats the best way to charge 3 pounds of beads in a already stocked Humi?
I have been using a Large Hydra Electronic Humidifier for sometime "With Fans". Would the Hydra Charge the beads if I just tossed them into the Humi with the unit running? My Plan is to have 1 pound mesh bags on the Bottom, Center and Top of the Humi to regulate @ 65% RH. Any Suggestions would be welcome.. -Doug/Dux |

Spray bottle would work nicely but I imagine they would charge with the Hydra but would take a bit longer than the spray bottle.

I have had some (1 in 150 or so) of the beads turn brown/black, what is this? Did I accidentally give them tap water or something?

They don't seem to be concentrated in one spot, but seem to be scattered through out.

I just have to say the beads are the most impressive hydration system I've ever used. I just recently switched to heartfelt 70% beads for my new cabinet and it recovers faster, maintains and overall just kicks arse. I needed 1.5 lb and got 2 lb more tried it with 1.5 and then 2, more definitely gets it back up faster after a quick flux or opening the humi. In the past I've used foam, gels and sponges and beads are by far the most efficient. I literally don't do anything other than glance at the hygro every once in a while and pour some DW over them when needed.

Since I'm having difficulty with keep the humidification up is it out of the question to get one more puck?

Hi newbie here.
Can you mix beads. Say have half 65% and half 60% would you end up with 62.5%? The puck-ifier is just a container with some beads in it right? If I'm buying beads for a coolidor, I can just rob some of them and stick them in a similar container for a desktop humidor? Last edited by sigwig; 02-17-2011 at 03:54 PM. |

Because humidty beads are set to specific RH level, combining 2 rh levels will not result in a hybrid level. Assuming you are using equal amounts, the 65% RH Beads will work to raise the RH to 65%. Once they have expelled their moisture content the 60% RH Beads will work to lower the RH level to 62% RH. I hope this helps. Mark |

Sorry for not making it clear.
The rh will rise to 65% and hold there until the 65% rh beads dry out and then it will fall to 60% rh. |
