Sarge, you struggle with them most likely 'cause you're out in the sandbox where the RH is close to ZERO.

I keep my coolerdors in my finished basement where the RH down there hovers between 55% & 65% just about all year. I haven't had to add water to my beads in three years.

Unfortunately, a person's environment is going to either make his life difficult (like yours) or easy (like mine) to maintain a coolerdor or humidor.

I don't know where this casual guy lives but if he's in Arizona or New Mexico, it's going to be a lot harder for him to pull off this 18+ year project than it is if he lives in Florida.
