Default Re: DIY Humidi Tube Help

I used a churchill sized Romeo tube . Drilled alot of holes , filled with beads and have not had any problems with it . I have read on the forums that if you soak the beads , they will fracture and become smaller pieces over time , so I don't think it's the burrs inside the tubes that are causing them to break . I'm pretty sure Dave from Heartfelt confirmed the fracturing of beads when placed directly in water . Also because aluminum is a softer metal it can stick to your drill bit and cause the drill to not work as well(loads up on the tip). I have a Cohiba tube that I plan to do the same too .
