My HCM beads just are not working anymore

That is a really slick way to do it, and it's the first time I ever heard of it.
Slower is always better. I'm gonna remember that idea and use it myself.

I'm picking that up now... I have some beads that were in a craptacular humi and have lost some RH... I need to recharge them a bit...

It works great! All you have to do is add water to the gel when it's low and the gel was cheap. Granted, the beads are 100x better.

I know this post is old
But I've been reading different forums and people are talking about buying Pounds of these beads...

I bought 2 ounces for my 50count humidor... Why is there a huge difference in the sizes? Are the people who are buying pounds of these beads using it for cabinet humidors or did I missing something?
I bought my HCM beads from www.hcmbeads.com
