Best way to recharge your beads that are in tubes?

[Rconectn]

I've purchased the Heartfelt Humidity Tubes for my humidors and I was wondering what's the best way to recharge the beads that come in the tubes? The way I do it is I hold the tubes vertical, I take off the cap and just pour some distilled water directly onto the beads until a little bit of water is seeping from the bottom. I then replace the cap and shake the excess water from the tube and replace it in my humi. What I would like to know, is this the proper way of doing it? Is there a better way to recharge the beads that come in the plastic mesh tubes?

I have a similar setup for my desktop office humi and a couple different ways I recharge the beads are:

1) I get a light mist spray bottle filled with distilled water and also take off 1 end cap and simply lightly spray the bead. (to avoid cracking the beads)

2) I wrap the tube around with a damp paper towel soaked with distilled water, and leave in a zip lock bag overnight to absorb.

Really depends I guess on how impatient or patient I am at the time.

I don't know that there is a "best" way. If they get moist, them you are doing it correctly. Right?
