hey guys, i just picked up a new humi (this one actually http://www.jrcigars.com/index.cfm?pa...HU150&type=hum), seasoning it right now. but i'm still a newbie and was looking for some advice on humidifcation. right now i have small desktop humi (15-20 capacity) and i had trouble maintaining steady humidity using 50/50 solution and distilled water in a little hockey puck humidifier.

i was at jr, and they had this product http://www.cheaphumidors.com/Merchan...de=humidifiers
and beads that look just like these http://www.cheaphumidors.com/Merchan...de=humidifiers only made by madelaine.

has anybody used this stuff, and if so how does it compare to other beads out there (especially viper's stuff)?

any advice would be appreciated.

Those gel things only release moisture, they don't absorb it. Beads do both. Go with beads.

Look no further than Viper's Heartfelt beads. They are top notch, and his customer service is the best you can find.

I have the same humidor, and haven't had any problems with the humidity. It seals very tightly and hasn't given me any problems. I have to agree with the suggestions on buying heartfelt beads. They now have the humipuck, which should easily replace the round humidifiers that come with the humidor.

The other thing that I have found that helps with new humidors is the Boveda seasoning packs. Hearfelt also sells these, and putting the recommended amount in the humidor to season it really works well.

Good luck.
