If anyone has some extra they can trade please help a bother out. This dry weather in the Northeast is giving me issues in the humi and I don't have $$$ to buy right now.

I would send top smokes for beads (65 or 70% beads would be best).

Shoot me an email if you can help... We will work something out.

THANKS and Happy New Year!

Chuckler:

I don't have beads to trade, but I get to tell you if you have dry weather, beads will not solve the problem.

I am using 65rh beads in my desktop humi. I have double the quantity recommended. The rh inside my home is about 52 and temp is about 66. The beads alone cannot keep the humidity above 60rh. I sprayed them until 90% were clear, but didn't do the trick. I used a combo of the beads and humidifier cartage to keep the rh around 67rh.

They worked great in the summer when the rh inside the house was above 80rh, however.

^ John makes a good point. I added a small jar of the Crystal Gel to my humi and rubbermaids to boost the Rh in the cold months. I find beads are great for preventing Rh spikes, but the Gel seems to do better preventing drops in Rh.

What they said. I use beads in the humis in the summer and CI Humicare crystals in the winter. Our RH in the winter is around 30-40% and if I used beads to keep it around 60-65% there wouldn't be any room left for cigars. In the summer beads are plenty and they will soak up excess humidity more efficiently than the crystal do.

I hear and will obey! Heading to the local this weekend to invest in a couple gel jars!

If any of you have extra couple of ounces of beads send me a note and we will work it out as I am short in one of my humis...

Your advice was very much appreciated!

THANK YOU!
