    Beads are in a +/- range of 2 points, so 65rh beads will vary from 63-67 on average in perfect conditions. 70 would go up to 72, possibly a bit high. Some people buy some of each and make their own recipe of 67.5 beads.

    honestly...order kitty litter, put in humi, spend the money you saved on a few nice cigars and laugh about it. It's better then any gel, Boveda pack, or heartfelt beads Ive used

    nope...not unless you are seasoning IMO. One humi I put it in and that was it. The other was my wineador, which is why I bought it, and it started at 60, sprayed a very small amount of distilled water, went up to 69 overnight, added a little more dry KL and it's held 65 since. If you want more rh, spray it initially. If its too high, add some dry. I'm amazed honestly and wish I would've saved all the money I spent over the years. I initially tried it with guys from the B&M months ago and all of us had no issues, so I bought the big jug.

    not as consistent IMO, but not bad. Really it's just the price. I figured 3lbs of beads for a wineador would be much cheaper via KL and it is. Why pay more ya know. Seemed like heartfelt fluctuate a bit more, not much, but more. I think being able to go overboard with KL due to the price and quantity is a benefit for stability.

    That's cool. I was just curious, because the reason I switched from boveda to beads was money hahaha, so when I hear you talking about replacing beads I had to ask.

    Any reason for exquisicat? Or would any non odor cat litter crystals be ok? Sorry I like to be very thorough

    Well..exquisicat was recommended by several serious collectors. I checked out other brands locally, but was not 100% positive by their packages description. Basically, non scented 100% silica is what you need. Online I found litter pearls and ultra pearls as well. Any of those will work fine.
