I think with the dimensions we only need like 4oz. That thing must get back to 65% AS you are closing the lid with that amount of beads. You can never have too many beads on hand though and now if you buy another cooler you can just do 1/2 and 1/2. Wait I think I should probably get some more beads. Hm.....

Haha that was pretty much my thinking. Now I have enough beads to spread em out a little bit if need be.

Alrite I'm looking at a few coolers at my local wallmart. These are the 2 I'm considering.

Any thoughts? I like the marine one I think it would be a little easier to kinda hide in my closet and I'm thinking the seal might be better because there meant to not leak or allow odors out.

I think the marine cooler is a better unit, but the red one is larger and cheaper.

Do not buy the second one. The Island Breeze coolers leak like sieves. I picked two up last year for like $6 at the end of the year clearance from CVS, neither held humidity for squat. I just use them for food/drinks now since they were worthless for cigar storage.

Alrite thanks I guess that ones out of the question. Is the marine one good you think?

I don't have one of the marine ones like you linked to, so I have no personal experience with it to say. I do know that a lot of people use marine coolers successfully, but I don't know if that is the brand that many use or not.
