Can't go wrong with HeartFelt I've ordered from him twice.
Heartfelt Industry Beads
The Other Company's Beads
Thanks for the explanation - is there anywhere I could get a picture of them in use?

Here is a piture i have of the 65% beads in use.
I have them in a plastic cup and have them sitting in my TUPPERDOR..I use here at work.
Sweet, sweet candy, I got the half-pound bag and will utilize half it in my current humidifier case, unless the beads are to small, then I'll use a special little set of tic-tac boxes because they take up very little depth in my humidor, hooah!
Thanks for all the responses!
Do I buy the aluminum thingy or do I just buy the half pound-1 lb. bag and fill up the plastic humidifier that I have that has the floral foam in it?
I've got questions, you've got answers!
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.
Here's just the answer you're looking for:Originally Posted by BigMacFU

Personally, I would buy JUST the beads. I leave them open in a smal bowl or small plastic container which works fine for me. The only problem people have with this is if you spill the bowl, you have beads everywhere. This is why many people put the beads in pantyhose.
Since I use large coolers where the chances of spiling the beads are slim to none, I don't bother with the panty hose.

Here's a question to those of you who have used the Heartfelt beads...how much do you need for a 75-100 count desktop humidor? I know the website has a tube of beads for a "medium" desktop and another for a "large", but I'm not sure exactly what size these would be.
If I want some for a coolerdor, too, should I get two tubes, or just a half pound bag?
Rule of thumb is 1 ounce of beads per 50 count cigars.Originally Posted by flushh
Medium tube has 1 ounce and large tube has 2 ounces.
