Humidity beads

Are they all the same or can there be "better" ones? I need a couple pounds and I am gonna get them from Hearfelt because I think he is well known on here and I want to support the real BOTL's as opposed to some random company.

Searching on Google a link came up to an EBAY auction in which you could buy beads for $7.00 LB which is less than a third the cost from Heartfelt. That's a pretty big difference. Are there inferior beads which makes them able to be sold so much cheaper?

You will get top-quality beads with a calibrated set point from Heartfelt. You will pay for them, yes, but you'll get quality.

As an aside, have you read the kitty litter thread at the top of the page?

Hmmm, I dunno. Could be someone is repackaging kitty litter beads and selling them on eBay to make a buck. Not knowing exactly what they are, I can't advise on buying there. The Heartfelt beads have a more exact setpoint and are less sensitive to over watering than litter beads. Considering they last indefinitely, the expenditure isn't that great.
