You may just have to overcompensate a little, depending on the season (and your location) it can be tough to keep the humidity up (or down). Where I live the humidity is higher in the summer and WAY down in the winter, so I have to check in more often to compensate accordingly.
Don't think the brands make a difference in humidity retention - I have $1 cigars next to $25 cigars and they respond equally, as far as I know.
Pillows are not a long-term solution. You can use them for multiple weeks, but you must recharge them with distilled water at least once a week or they'll drop down fast, as you've mentioned experiencing. Heartfelt beads work great for me, if you're coming out low on the RH I'd go for the 70% beads...I use 65% beads and just have to check in and maybe charge them every two weeks or so, depending on the season. Best of luck!
