Just a quick question

[chenakos]

Could you please tell me how many cigars or what size of humidor can someone humidify with the "70% Heartfelt Beads Half Pound" from Heartfelt Industries? Or else for what size of humidor is the half pound beads suitable to humidify?

Caluculate like this.... (interior) DWH/1728...that divided by 5..than multiplied by 16...That equals how many ounces you should use per your humidor size.... I could guess your actual question..but I think this will help more?...was this clear?

[chenakos]

that was clear but just for my understanding, how many cigars or what size of humidor can I humidify with half pound beads?

As per the "Sticky" at the top of the page entitled: Humidification Beads: FAQs


"The question I get asked the most is, “How much do I need for my ______?”

Here are some quantities for various containers.
5 cubic feet requires 1 pound of humidification beads.
1/3 pound of beads per 50 quarts (coolerdors)
1 ounce of beads per 50 count in a desktop humi (so a 100 count would need 2 ounces, 150 count 3 ounces etc.)
For our metric friends: Each pound of beads will condition 141,584 cubic centimeters.

Calculating the cubic area of your humi:
Measure the depth, width and height of you humi (example is 24” depth, 36” wide and 48” height)
Multiply the three; 24x36x48=41472 cubic inches
Divide 41472 by 1728 (number of cubic inches in a cubic foot) 41472/1728= 24 cubic feet
Divide the cubic feet by 5 (number of cubic feet per pound) 24/5 = 4.8
You would need 4.8 pounds of humidification beads for this humi."


Therefore 1/2 pound of beads would take care of a humidor that was 2.5 cubic feet. As for the actual size - there are just way to many combinations to list.
