I have a question about Heartfeld

Big Maduro · 05-21-2012, 10:04 PM

I'm ording some Heartfeld beads. I'm thinking of ording some extra for a later project. So, do they have a shelf life if not used? I know this may be a dumb question to some, but I'm not sure.

CigarSquid · 05-21-2012, 10:06 PM

I do not think they would.

Why not wait till you are ready to be safe?

Big Maduro · 05-21-2012, 10:09 PM

Heartfeld is closed this month and will give a 15% discount on orders placed now.

CigarSquid · 05-21-2012, 10:15 PM

Got ya.

Big Maduro · 05-21-2012, 10:17 PM

Like I said it may be a dumb question but I don't have any experience with these beads.

Heartfelt beads, if kept in a sealed container such as they ship in, will not "expire". Over time in a humidor, it is possible for the HF beads to "clog" (for some definition). This is a problem that the beads that cigarnut sells doesn't have.

I used HF beads for years and years without issue and even did like you are considering and pre-bought several pounds in anticipation of the slope without seeing any noticeable effect.

No expiration date as far as I know. I have been using HF beads for over 5 years and they still work perfectly. Extra beads can always be used as more will actually help regulate faster.

Why not ask Dave at HeartField, or HardFelt, or Hartfelt . . . .

then, you'll know.

I've personally noticed that beads have be to re-hydrated more often than the other humidification devices
beads do have a shelf life. You probably should replace them every year or three depending on how they're doing

I would disagree with your assertion. I am no expert but I just happen to believe the opposite is true.

On another note, welcome to Cigar Asylum. Please post a welcome thread in our New Inmate forum and tell us a bit about yourself.

I would disagree as well, I have had mine for about 4 years and they work like they did when I first got them.

Add me to that list, I have 7 year old beads that work like a charm.

lenguamor · 05-28-2012, 10:30 PM

6 years here; beads still work like new.
