I'd like to bring my humidor up a couple percentage points. Anybody have some 70% beads they'd be willing to trade for 65%'s? 2 or 3 ounces should do it.

Before trading out your beads - do the salt test and determine the accuracy of your hygrometer. I am using beads from an outfit in NV and they are terrific - dead on.

I did the test, the hygro is on.

I'd like to have it a little closer to 70% anyway.

Living in Tucson, where the humidity is usually pretty close to single digit percentages, I have found that I needed to use between 20 and 50% more beads than was originally recommended. I've got a Havana Footlocker for bulk storage - have four tubes of 2 ounces each - and it holds right on the money.
