I used the beads until I got my Aristocrat with active electronic humidification.

Beads are great....the Set & Forget is unbelievable!!

Re: Poll: What type of humidification device do you use?

Been making the switch to beads only in all of my humis/tupperdors/coolerdor. They are just the best thing I have seen...

Re: Poll: What type of humidification device do you use?

Well, I have only one desktop humidor, and really don't plan on getting anything bigger until I can afford the habit. But from my experiences, I've tried the cheap floral foam they give you, the humidifier crystal/gel, the boveda packs, and the beads. Overall, the beads are definitely the most cost effective and tied with the boveda packs for ease of use. The crystal/gel stuff kept my cigars way too humid and the floral foam was just garbage.

Re: Poll: What type of humidification device do you use?

Considering all the responses we see on the board when people ask questions, I'm not at all surprised by the results.

A huge portion of the people use beads, and the next largest group of people use electronic humidifications -- probably for the people who have large cabinet humidors.

What do you do if the humidity rises in your humidor? Can the Avallo Accumonitor remove humidity?
