which beads SUCK moisture OUT the fastest?
My humi's are all soaking right now. 65% heartfelt beads are pretty much bone dry white! in there but it's still taking days, and the RH is not coming down.
Just wondering if Shilala's beads are able to absorb moisture any faster. Any thoughts on how to dry the humi out except throwing it on a grill for a humicue? ![]()

Re: which beads SUCK moisture OUT the fastest?
Are you sure your hygrometer isn't on the fritz? If it's an analog gauge, those are notorious for sticking on one RH and not moving.
My heartfelts have never seemed to take much time to soak up any excess moisture. You might take the beads out and making sure they are dry. Or, depending of the humidity of the ambient air surrounding you, leave the box open and let it air out. Hope this helps.

So are you asking if Shilala's beads suck?

Re: which beads SUCK moisture OUT the fastest?
Shilala's beads are great...my cooler has been reading 65% since I got them 2 1/2 months ago!
Do not have to wet his beads either. If humidity drops, put sponge of distilled H2O in and the beads absorb it. Have not tried heartfelt, so I cannot compare the two.

if you really need to suck out moisture, I am offering a standing offer for free silica gel packs from new shoes to anyone who wants them
![]() ![]() I threw these in a humi to just see how much moisture they pull and it dropped from 70%-25%-15% in one hour! |

Re: which beads SUCK moisture OUT the fastest?
GDI you poeple type fast. I'm still not deleting what I wrote.
![]() I'm pretty sure white is dry. I found that I had some high humidity and it was that I was overzealous with my humidor and popped some stuff in before it stabalized. All I did to fix it was opened the humidor, fanned a little bit of air out, and closed it for an hour. I removed every humidification element except my beads. I repeated this step every hourish or whenever I walked by my humidor i'd pop it up and check it's progress. If it was still high, I just repeated the process and it evened itself out. I had too much humidificaion in my humi: stock green foam thingy, and freebie 70% gel and beads. The only explanation I have is that the other two were soaking things since they dont have the precision of beads. Once I pulled everything out but left my beads in, it settled down to 68%-70% |

Re: which beads SUCK moisture OUT the fastest?
I have a small coolador with 65% Heartfelt beads. In the Winter, my digital meter shows 65%, so I know it's pretty accurate. However, this past week the ambiant humidity has been about 85% and I'm lucky if the humidor reads 72%. It just can't keep up with the huge outside number.

Re: which beads SUCK moisture OUT the fastest?
HCM beads are the fastest sumbitches on the planet, bar none.
I will tell you that Dave's beads will get the job done. If they're all white, they should be sucking water almost so fast you can hear it. Before thinking about using my beads, how many beads are you using and how big is the humi? You may just not have enough beads, or you may have them arranged in a fashion where they can't work to their best ability. One other thing... If you've been using them for quite some time and they're all bead chips now, it may be time for some new ones. I would have suggested that your humi is leaking, but if the beads never turn color, it's not that.
