Humidification Beads FAQs

Hi newbie here.

Can you mix beads. Say have half 65% and half 60% would you end up with 62.5%?

The puck-ifier is just a container with some beads in it right? If I'm buying beads for a coolidor, I can just rob some of them and stick them in a similar container for a desktop humidor?

In theory it might work but really no point. Both beads would be fighting to get to their intended RH. I really doubt you would notice the difference in 2.5 percent, much less constantly being able to keep it there. I would choose one or the other. I prefer mine with 65 beads. The RH will fluctuate both ways sometimes, so doesn't have to be perfect.

Because humidty beads are set to specific RH level, combining 2 rh levels will not result in a hybrid level.

Assuming you are using equal amounts, the 65% RH Beads will work to raise the RH to 65%. Once they have expelled their moisture content the 60% RH Beads will work to lower the RH level to 62% RH.

I hope this helps.

So, the RH will bounce up and down like a yo-yo?
