B&M's love these kinds of beads for some reason. In my experience they do not work well. I have found that these always over-humidify. I ditched these and got the HCM beads and have had zero humidor issues since.

For a humidor that size you could also drop a couple boveda packs in there and I think that would be a better option than those beads.

MagicDrop,

Lots of useful information on this site, read through the stickies. I built my coolidor using the info on this site and was generously rewarded. I bought HCM beads with hygrometer while on sale and built my first coolidor for about $150, money well spent. I don't know what your budget might be, but if you save a little, become informed you can have a reasonable humidor with solid humidity control to enjoy your new hobby.

That was my experience also except I went with Heartfelt beads.

Also good advice. If you go this route, get extra Boveda packs and just rotate them out, re-charging the used ones with distilled water.
