BigMac,

The aluminum container for the beads is good but takes up some space. It's good for a 100-150 humi, though. I use the medium size tube and have had great results from it. My humidor holds 75-100. It took a week or so for the humi to stabilize after I put the beads in but now it is rock solid. I use the 65% beads. Actually, you really don't need any specialized container for these beads. I have a friend that uses a very small petri dish filled with the beads and it works great. Any of the containers are just for convenience purposes. It just depends what you prefer. Get you order in by the 9th as Hearfelt will be down for 4 weeks. Good luck.
