Humidity Beads

[Rugbysh9]

So I'm taking the plunge into the realm of coolerdors while combatting the most humid/wet spring summer I've ever encountered in the north east (CT). I am running a dehumidifiyer in house constantly in conjunction with multiple AC units but I just can't get the overall humidity in my 100 ct humidor down and as I've been puchasing boxes and bundles at great and reasonable prices I want to really make sure I protect my investment.

I thinke that due to the overly humid air that 65% rh beads would be appropriate, my quetion to all you wiser individuals than I is who has the best product (i.e. heartfelt ind.)? I only want to have to make the purchase 1x.

Thanks in advance,

- Andrew

I just got heartfelt beads 65rh. They work just fine. I don't have a lot in my coolidor yet so I don't have enough in there to buffer the humidity very well. Consequently my humidity is a bit high 72 or so, but it has decreased now to 67rh. I think part of my problem is that I wet the beads too much. If you wet them only wet half of them. But the beads have worked out great. I know they are a bit spendy, but you only have to buy em once. I have no complaints about the beads from heartfelt at all. They work wonderful. Roger.

I've been told that you can put the lids on tupperware containers to fill up some of the space and help manage the humidity swings.

If you do this it's very important to keep a stable temperature.

yeah, I have heard that too, the only problem is that plastic still does not hold onto the humidity so when you open your coolidor the humidity usually swings a bit. It is best to have the cooler lined with spanish ceadar or have some quality spanish ceadar boxes in the coolidor to keep the rh maintained. I need to get some better boxes since I have only paper coated boxes.

If you want to sop up moisture put them in dry. Making a thinner layer increases the surface area, so I'd think they would keep up better. The heartfelt beads do a find job.
