Man, I don't know what to do! I read on the CA forum that there was no difference between them and the HF beads...ugh.:confused:

If enough of us say the same thing, maybe he'll listen? :r:r:r :ss

Re: Just bought a 600ct humi and need advice
 

Big difference. One major difference is one is made for absorbing cat pee and the other is made for regulating humidity in humidors. :tu

Re: Just bought a 600ct humi and need advice
 

+1. Get the beads. The beads absorb extra humidity and release humidity when it is too low.

I can tell you from having both that Shilala beads are rock solid. Like I said earlier I haven't had to add anything to them for around 4 months. On the other hand heartfelt at least in my case it seems to add water every month or so. I ended up getting rid of most of my heartfelt and got Shilala beads. I still use HF in the cooler though.

I fired off an e-mail to him so hopefully soon he will let me know. So what does 2lbs run...rough estimate?

You CANNOT go wrong with Shilala's beads. It is a one time cost, and then they are almost worry free. I haven't had to boost em up but a couple times in almost a year.:tu

It'll be more than the kitty litter, but WORTH EVERY PENNY! :2

Don't scrimp on the humidification. You will regret it if you do. :(

Re: Just bought a 600ct humi and need advice
 

Scott's beads are amazing. I have them in 2 vino's and they worked so well that I ended up putting them in my Avallo to work with the Acumonitor to keep humidity down during the summer months. It is on of those investments that you will never regret.

Re: Just bought a 600ct humi and need advice
 

I personally vote for a CO or hydra and a pound or two of beads.

well at least until I start selling the crystals in bulk. Then I will recommend those because they do work very very well.

Re: Just bought a 600ct humi and need advice
 

ok guys i wasnt going to say anything, but i'll go ahead and brace for the flaming

I used kitty litter for roughly 3 months with NO regrets what so ever. my humidity held perfect at 65% and I only had two pounds in there (600ct humi). The only reason I no longer use them is because I moved to a cigar oasis. At the time I was strapped for cash and $16 for 7 lbs of ktty litter was something I was willing to try. I got the 100% oscilla beads unscented. The only reason I have an oasis now is because I snagged a barely used one for half price on another forum.

hate if you must, but for 3 months there were no rewatering them, no odor, and a crazy cheap remedy for perfect humidity. I'm not saying they DONT work i'm just saying for three months they DID work.

Re: Just bought a 600ct humi and need advice
 

That is the same thing that I read.....man...what to do.:confused:

Re: Just bought a 600ct humi and need advice
 

Kitty litter is for kitty poo...yucky!

Re: Just bought a 600ct humi and need advice
 

Just for the sake of argument, you're going to fill that humi with sticks at a conservative estimate of about $2000.

Invest another $100 for peace of mind and get the beads.

Kitty litter may do well in a stable environment in the winter months, but it won't handle the humidity swings you'll see come the summer months.

Re: Just bought a 600ct humi and need advice
 

alright shililah you gotta pm me back! So confused!

Re: Just bought a 600ct humi and need advice

Re: Just bought a 600ct humi and need advice
 

Make an investment in your cigars and buy a product that has been proven to work time and time again. HCM beads and Rh Beads are used by most members of forums, sold by well respected vendors and members and are designed for humidity regulation not just addition.

I realize you read 6pack's testemonial on another site. Kitty litter is designed to keep cat pee from stinking up your room and is designed to clump around poop. I realize that 6pack and some other noobs have used them with some success, but they are not designed for that use and will not handle fluctuations and provide a constant proper environment.

Spend the $30-$50 or so that you should in a good product that will last forever. :2

I think he is the only one that can make up his mind.
