The beads euqalize pretty quickly, with two caveats:
- Your humidor is already at or near the desired RH (e.g., your humidor has been seasoned)
- Your humidor seals well. If your humidor leaks there are no bead products that will keep a steady RH.
You can always check the RH of the beads by putting them in a Ziplock with a calibrated hygrometer. If you find that the RH of the beads is no longer where you want them, there are instructions to raise or lower the RH.

I dont mind waiting but i just smoked one of my noir champagne cigars and bluckkk! it was so harsh, i might as well smoke the cigar with a lighter at the head the whole duration.
Where are the beads supposed to sit at in the humidor?
all the way on the bottom? off to the side? or on top of some cigars
