    Yep, I suggest you send them to me and I'll throw it away for you. It will be too traumatic for you to throw it away yourself. Heck, I'll even pay the postage. I'm just that nice of a guy.
    Thanks for the offer Dru. Very sweet of you. However, I think I'll take my chances with reseasoning the humi. Thanks again to everyone for all the help.

    So the tupperware is open to the air though right? I put the lower portion of my tupperware filled with beads into a pair of pantyhose. works great.

    With some of the photos we have seen of you, I am surprised you didn't have your own pair... or were fishnets too open for beads?

    And the temperature has consistently read 70-72 degress on the digital.

    How much surface area of the beads are exposed to air?

    I have a similar humidor. If your humidity is too low, placing a shot-glass of distilled water on the corner does help control the humidity. You should try that first before doing anything rash.

    Plus, what temperature is your digi-hygrometer reading? That may be a cause to your low humidity. The colder it is in the room (where you humidor is), the less humidity there will be. But, the beads should take care of that.....maintaining correct moisture with temp. changes.

    Fill the humidor 2" deep with sea water. Let sit overnight.
    Just kidding.
    I use distilled water, and trust the beads. Sure is nice not running around every other day, measuring RH. In fact I have a few containers that don't even have hygrometers in them.

    ...and, of course, the $64,000 question...

    How do the sticks feel and smoke? That is the best indicator.

    The beads are probably an inch an a half deep in the tupperware that has a diameter of about 3 inches. The sticks definately feel dry. I gave the humidor a quick rub down last night with some distilled water so hopefully that helps. One interesting thing though, I put about ten of my sticks in a ziploc bag with my beads and my digital hygrometer. The highest reading I got on that environment was 60%. So now I'm thinking I will salt test the hygrometer again. I've had this distilled water for a while, distilled water doesn't go bad does it?
