Sorry about the detour, if these work even half as good as the HF beads I’d say these are worth the coin. Especially given the unavailability of HF right now. HCM are great but my humidor would require 10lbs according to their calculator. I would need more Biden Bucks for that noise.

Still, tough to see loved ones age.

Prayers. 🙏

Dam Z sorry to hear this brother Prayers are with you brother.

Update:

they’ve been in my humidor now for a couple weeks (1lbs of 70%) working in conjunction with 3lbs HF beads and a tub of floral beads (clear).

Humidity is now sitting at 71% where I was sitting @65% but having to charge beads too frequently. This was meant to put less strain on my good beads (HF) as I’d had a pound go bad.

Short term impression? They’re adequate and a good value for the price I paid, and I haven’t had to add any moisture so there is that. However that is more humidity than I prefer. I’m going to see if it settles a bit before I adjust anything though I my quit using the floral beads completely (no big loss there $3). What I want is a bit less work and closer to 65%.

Would I recommend these? I would with the advice to watch the level.

Positives? Cheap (compared to HF and HCM) and though higher than I want it has swung or spiked just crept up and sat. So they are consistent at least for two weeks.

Any crazy changes I’ll let you know.
