    I have a cabinet humi but some recent box purchases have been filling her up. So I am going to put my small nightstand sized humi back into action. Before I had used an electronic humi but this time I think I will use beads. So this will be a good thread for me...and timely.

    If I want to start using beads, what should I look for and will they work good in a cooler as well?

    do they sell these on CCOM? I also need some suggestions on a goo Hygrometer. Any recommendations?

    Mine isn't as "sexy" as yours. I went to Wally World and bought some panty hose and each on has a 1/4 pound each. Cheaper than getting the bag they sell on the site

    Yep. I use pantyhose tied off and cut into a few little bead sacks. Five of them in my 100qt cooler, with roughly a pound and a half of beads divided between them. I also have a similarly designed, and carefully assembled (read: sloppy and ugly) pantyhose baggy in my 75 ct desktop. I use an actual Hearfelt tube plus a Boveda in my aging humidor (a little 25ct.) for the really special stuff.

    That works well pbchevo. I did the same with my Diablo humi, it has 2 of those. You have to be real careful to not break them. My only issue is it has to lay flat because my conservagels broke apart to the point i would drop dust if i put it on the lid. As my diablo fills up I'm leaning towards 4 or so strategically placed coffins to get more space. Those work just as great though and its a great neat way to reuse the otherwise useless green foam humidifier. Sorry for the typing, this kindle fire is great to surf but not so great to type.

    Bump in case anyone has some new litter pearl or bead containers they want to post images of. I love seeing new setups and ideas.

    I use a coffin in my small humidor as well, although I wish I had something they wouldnt fall out of. I also have a heartfelt disk that works well.

    image I use, interestingly enough, those little beads you use for flowers. I filled half with distilled water and half with solution. I then put them in one of those shakers pizza places have for Parmesan cheese, which I picked up at the dollar store for $1. With how full I have it, and one corner of the cooler not all the way pushed down, I am holding between 65 and 67 rh, which is my preferred smoking range.

    I just went to the grocery store and bought some kiddie sandwich holders; it's about 2"x3"x2" - very small, and it fits on the shelves of my humi without taking up much space

    Very good post OP. After reading this thread I went on ahead and purchased 1/2 pound of 65% beads from heartfelt industries and a small nylon and one large nylon bag. I'm gonna put the large one in my 300ct humi and the small pouch in my 50 ct humi for my infused cigars.

    I use small Tupperware bowls with lids and punch holes in them with kitty litter, works great.

    I admit, I'm being lazy.I think I read in the beads site that they should only be so deep to be effective, that they need to be a little spread out. How deep do you guys have yours?

    I just moved mine from the "hose" it came with to a tupperware container. I poked some holes in the lid..we'll see.

    Let me know. What's the deal with the holes. Why not leave the lid off?

    The container is sort of big, so I can lay cigars on it now as long as I leave some of the holes open. I think, anyways..

    Not sure why this didn't cross my mind. I'm sure it would have if I didnt have any extra room."Now where did I put that lid..."
