Default Re: Gel Water Beads

I use them in my humidors and coolers with distilled water only, they work great.
I'm pretty sure it is the same stuff thats in "water pillows" sold in B&Ms everywhere.

Yes it works. They make many sizes of crystal gel humidifier that replace the standard humidifiers inside your humidor quite nicely. One of the best upgrades you can make to a desktop humidor is to use this over florist foam type humidifiers.

How well would these work in things like Hydra/Oasis? Instead of filling the foam containers with distilled water, can you remove the foam completely and fill them up with these gels then add distilled water?

Might want to introduce yourself in the Retailer Forum so people have an idea who they are doing business with.

I've been doing it for a long time without any issues. Better performance than the foam.
