Anyone tried Aqua Gems?

The risk you are taking with your cigars getting moldy by using Aqua Gems is IMHO too great.

In the scheme of things, spending the extra dough on a tested humidity device is just a better idea to know you're cigars are going to be safe. Why spend thousands on cigars only to save 15$ on humidity? At least you asked first
