Unfortunately, this is a common misunderstanding.

The 65% beads will absorb humidity until saturated at which point the RH will begin to stabilize at 70%. I have read this from both David at Heartfelt and Mark at Cigarmony. Plus, it just makes sense.

Mines not a vino but I use 10 lbs of Shilalas beads in one of my humis. They work great holding me at 62% all the time.

Not a lot of sticks, just a lot of room to put sticks.

1.5lbs is my magic number

I have 3 lbs in mine and it still runs low for my taste.

My situation is kind of unique as the house doesn't have central air and we use units in the bedrooms.

The Vino runs quite a bit and this really keeps the humidity low, my plan is to add a couple more pounds from cigarmony.com

Maybe I'm missing out on something here if anyone has an idea...

1.5 pounds of Shilala beads in my vino. After stabilizing I haven't had to even boost em up in forever.

Awesome... thanks for the consensus guys... I just ordered 2 lbs of beads.

I will put them both in the one Vino for now... when it gets full I will switch a pound over to the second vino which actually has wine in it right now...

but those bottles can move somewhere else... I have priorities lol...
