Which Rh do you guys find works the best?

I see they offer 60, 65, and 70.

Also do you prefer the tubes or loose beads in your own container?

I use the 65 beads. Good results. I purchased the sock with my beads. Work great.
Have then in three humidors. Low maintenance. I like the lower rh. Prevents a lot of split wrappers.

+1 for the 65% RH and using them in the nylon socks.

I use 1/2lb in a 70qt cooler and 1lb in a 100qt cooler.

So running them in your cooler, do you find it more effective with them in multiple locations? Or just one sock?

I use the beads in a couple of my humidors with great success, but I prefer to use plain distilled water in a shot glass. One shot glass per 100 sticks keeps my RH at a steady 68 to 70 % RH year around. Does anyone else use this method of humidification ?

My setup is similarish. In my cooler I use a brand new clean foam sponge in a ziplock bag. I add distilled water as needed and move the bag around to different spots in the cooler. Only downside is that it could potentially spill but the cooler is never messed with except by myself. Plus the sponge soaks up most of the water so spillage wouldn't be that bad.

To ensure two way humidification, I recharge my 65rh bovedas by putting them in the cooler. Cooler always stays at 65-66°/69-70rh, my smoking stock stays at a lower rh in my humidors.

Plumb your furnace humidifier to pass through the cooler. It's like a free aristocrat humidor.

My box humidor I have two pounds of 65's in two ladies nylons. Flexible enough to snake around the boxes n stuff to spread it throughout without leaving em loose.

In my singles bulk humidor I have a pound in an old box with the lid removed, and a ladies nylons stretched over the box tightly.

I've got them in 2 1/2 lbs socks currently.
I've also got a few 65% bovedas scattered about. I've been recharging and rotating the same 12 of those for some time now.
