Man, I don't know what to do! I read on the CA forum that there was no difference between them and the HF beads...ugh.

Big difference. One major difference is one is made for absorbing cat pee and the other is made for regulating humidity in humidors.

+1. Get the beads. The beads absorb extra humidity and release humidity when it is too low.

I can tell you from having both that Shilala beads are rock solid. Like I said earlier I haven't had to add anything to them for around 4 months. On the other hand heartfelt at least in my case it seems to add water every month or so. I ended up getting rid of most of my heartfelt and got Shilala beads. I still use HF in the cooler though.

I fired off an e-mail to him so hopefully soon he will let me know. So what does 2lbs run...rough estimate?

It'll be more than the kitty litter, but WORTH EVERY PENNY!

Don't scrimp on the humidification. You will regret it if you do.

Scott's beads are amazing. I have them in 2 vino's and they worked so well that I ended up putting them in my Avallo to work with the Acumonitor to keep humidity down during the summer months. It is on of those investments that you will never regret.
