I bought an end table humidor that came with these lava type bricks for humidification.
Does anyone have experience with these bricks or is there a better way to humidify this kind of large humidor? Thanks

Use humidity beads.
Also, use search.

Those bricks work great and much better than any beads out there. Just make sure to soak them with distilled water only. If you use tap water it will leave the mineral deposits and clog up the bricks. I have used the same bricks for about 10 years now. Never had to replace them yet. Good luck.

I have personal experience with the bricks. 50 yrs ago, or so, it was my job to take care of the cigar case in my grandmother's candy store. I soaked them every week or so. They don't work worth a fuck and anyone who says they do, doesn't know what he's talking about. The difference between the brick and the bead is like the difference between flint and steel and a S.T. Dupont lighter.

Do draft dodgers have reunions? And if so what do they talk about?

Guys, Guys!
At ease, just trying to fiqure it out.
The guy I bought it from said he swears by the bricks and has used them for years.
He used to sell large humidors to restaurants and they all used bricks.
He included 14 OPUS X cigars with the humidor that were 10 years old and they still seemed in perfect shape. Hey "Fish", I think you were right about the distilled water because he said he used tap water and there is mineral deposits all over the two bricks. I had the humidor cleaned and retouched. I want to use the least maintenance and steady humidification process that I could get.
So I will probably clean up the bricks and try it for a while. If it doesn't hold then I guess I will go with beads
Sorry you got in the middle of a shit storm.
Beads are they way to go. Everything else is bullshit.

Beads damnit...Everything else is crap. Viper at Heartfelt will hook you up good. Fishy is dead wrong.
Use beads and know with certainty that they work excellently!!! I use nothing else in my humi. That's my $.02 worth. Roger
Just another day at the office!
IMHO, this is exactly why beads out perform most other types of humidification devices. If you place a sufficient amount of beads in the humi to allow for both absorption and release of humidity you have it made. This is where bricks/floral foam/gel, all lose out....they have no ability to absorb excess RH, only to release it.
Beads are relatively inexpensive and last forever, and require only distilled H20 to function.
Hey Fish, have you tried the beads or have you only used the bricks? Curious, because I have used both and the beads are much better. I am interested to hear why you think the bricks are better then beads.
