Didnt have any cracking, popping or spliting like i've read can happen, used the sprayer on fine mist and end up with salt run off lol. Gonna go cry in the corner until I find out if they still work lol

Rather than using the beads to season your humidor you would be better off using a damp (with distilled water) sponge. The beads do not supply enough moisture to properly season a humidor in a reasonable amount of time. Just my .

Thanks for your reply. Im allowing 3-4 weeks for seasoning, im in no hurry (as all cigars are in tupperware with bovedas), just hope the beads hold the correct RH. I have a glass of distilled water in there also.

Yesterday was 47%
Today 51% RH.


When i checked the beads in a ziploc bag the gauge read from 47%RH straight to 63%RH in 1 hour. The reason I put it in the ziploc only an hour was to have a rough idea on how they beads are funcitoning and then put them back in the humi. Also being such a large bag of beads the small ziploc has very little space other than the bag and the hygrometer, so it was a quick test, one would hope if leaving for 24 hours the humidity would of continued to climb in the ziploc.
