Anyone have that kind of experience with there beads?

Same with my 65% beads. Depending on the shelf, they're anywhere from 62-65%.

Ive got a vino with 65% beads from heartfelt that I keep in my basement and it stays at 69%, go figure. When I used my desktop I had to refill the beads once every week when I lived in a dorm room.
