Heartfelt Bead Tubes

What is the best way to hydrate the beads in these tubes?

I take one cap off and use a spray bottle on the jet setting. Give it a few good shots and shake it up. Alternatively, you can use the spray bottle on spray and just spray the outside of the tube while rotating it. Both methods work, just do whatever works better for you.

ok, so the end cap is not glued on? I messed around with it a bit and it seemed it was on for good. I did not want to force it off and break it or send the beads flying. I ended up finding a little spray bottle and sprayed the outside down quite a bit and then wiped it down. I cannot see the beads good enough through the tube to see if they are hydrated or not.

The end caps on mine were on there pretty good. Once you get them off, they remove easily.

Well, that is how I did it at first. I had a saturated sponge of distilled water on a plate seasoning my new humi. I let it get up to 80% and then I put the bead tube in I let it site for a day and it came down to about 75% I then took out the sponge and it went to 70% and stayed there for about a week. Then all of a sudden it went down to 65% so I figured it did not get enough mositure from absorbing it from the sponge and in the air.

I have 70% beads. I will add the sponge back I guess if it is still not right when I get home from work.

interesting method. I haven't tried that though I'm a bit nervous about putting some water in with my cigars. though if it works for you then it is probably okay. my humi's seem to stay pretty stable at 65 after moving them in a closet.
