I use 65% HF Beads. I use 1 pound each in both of my 70 qt. coolers, as well as another 2 oz. in my desktop humi.

Default Re: What type of humidifier do you use?

Used foam with glycol when I first started out, then moved to 65% Heartfelt beads after hearing this board rave about both the product and RH. After about 6 months at 65% I realised that 65% burned too hot for my personal preference so I moved back 70%, still with Heartfelt beads. Now I just use the Set and Forget that came with my Aristrocrat.

Default Re: What type of humidifier do you use?

Have a Cigar Oasis XL Plus for my main humidor, but I'm wanting to get some beeds to place in my old humidor that I no longer use for overflow purposes. Kicking myself because there was a group buy on them not too terribly long ago here but wasn't on here much during the summer and didn't see the thread until it was too late.
