Gosh, thanks to all for the warm welcomes!

I will switch to beads as soon as my activator solution runs out. I'm cheap. I received my small humidifier and solution in the mail this afternoon and installed in my humidor. I have a wireless thermometer/hygrometer (actually stole the indoor sensor from my home weather station) and I've been rock-steady at 70.5 degrees and 67% for several hours now.

So here's a question for you all - there are 65% beads and 70% beads, has anyone been anal enough to mix their own blend, say equal amounts of each for a 67.5% RH?
