I linked the thread, read that and you'll have everything you need to get your humidor running properly. The beads only dry over time. I'd think trying to force dry them, would damage them.

does the Rh level change the flavor?

Yes and no. If its burning to hot, it can get bitter. If you stay in the 60-70rH range, youre golden.

Hey New Boots I see in your posts a link for a social club what is that

Get a digital hygrometer. Two digital hygrometers wouldn't be a bad idea either. One for up high and one for down low.

Heh, that's a live text-chat I set up for the folks around here. It's hit and miss as to if you'll find someone there. (My name is always there...though I'm not always there). Good times are generally had.

Ok just got my humidor today and I took some measurements of the inside of it. here they are 10"x15.75"x22.75" If I did the math right it says that I need 1/2 lb of beads please let me know if I am right.

That may be right... I'd go a little more, just to ensure stability and even rh. But you can always add or take away some.

My question is...is why spend the space on beads or litter??

Agreed. Switched the humi from KL to boveda and it opened a ton of space.

Because it works? Beads work and so does Boveda paks but you're going to spend a lot more money on the paks esp. if you have an extensive collection. Here's the main thought for humidors...you only want to fill them 3/4 full and use the unfilled area to put your KL or beads in.
