RH Beads Newbie....HELP

[BamBam]

I just got my new Lexington cabinet Humidor and have my sticks in it. I am using a Hydra in it for RH. It is running off and on quite frequently though. In order to stop this I think I am going to have to break down and buy some RH Beads. I have never used these before and have no idea where to get them or how much I need. The interior of the humidor is approximately 5.5 square feet. I want to keep the RH at 65%.

So to sum it all up:
1) Where can I get the best deal on the beads?
2) How much do I need?
3) I would like to use them in the thin mesh bag, where can I get these?

Heartfelt Industries and Cigarmony, both carry them.
Use the calculator on Heartfelt's site to find out what you need, you can always have more than you need. Mesh Bag, Panty Hose, or Bowl all work.

Anybody have any opinions on these ones.

With a decent size humidor you are looking at several hundreds if not a thousand dollars in smokes. Not sure why you would want the cheapest alternative out there? Spend the few extra dollars and get 65% beads from Cigarmony or HeartfeltIndustries.

If your hydra can't support 5.5 cubic ft. I think you have an issue with either:
Humidors seal
Hydrometer Calibration
etc.

Its gonna run alot until the humi is seasoned. If it doesn't calm down after a week or so then you can worry.

As for the conservaGel. Thats is not the same as the rhbeads. Its is a gel not silica.
