I'm finally looking into putting a decent humidification system into my humidor and I was wondering where everyone gets their Heartfelt beads? Do you go to Heartfelt Industries website, or do you get them elsewhere. Please PM me with directions to where you think I should go.

I purchased mine directly from the website. I didn't think to look anywhere else, lol.

Yup....go to the website. I didn't even look anywhere else.

Im actually a bargain hunter and checked all over for a better price, even ebay, and the best price around is on their site. Plus the shipping was fast.

Yeah I just bought from them. Remember to get more than you think you'll need. good to have the extra "humidity storing power"

Plus, the guy who runs the place, Dave, I think his name is, will bend over backward to help a customer in any way he can. In addition to my beads, I bought an adjustable hygrometer from him and, when I couldn't get it to calibrate properly, he sent me another one to replace it - free. He's a very acommodating guy and looks out for us cigar folk.

Website... and the little 2oz. bottle works GREAT too!

I would have to second that notion. I bought $50 worth of beads from him about not even 2 days later he sends out an email about a sale they're having. I emailed him to see if he could do anything for my $50 order that I placed 1 day too early, and he basically gave me $5 off my next order. It ain't much, but when you don't have to do anything, it's still pretty cool...not to mention, he kept a customer.jlmarta:Plus, the guy who runs the place, Dave, I think his name is, will bend over backward to help a customer in any way he can.

This is where I just ordered some beads from. They are available in the 65% or 70% beads, and are the type of beads used in Museums for long term RH control.
From what I see comparing sites... these guys are a lot cheaper then Heartfelt. Give 'em a look.

A quick note about Heartfelt. If you've read my thread about low humidity issues, you know I've had a few questions. So I fire off an email to David at Heartfelt this morning (Saturday), I explain what's going on and that my humi is seasoned and seals well. He emails back with in minutes asking if my hygro is calibrated. I reply that I have salt tested it several times. Again, within minutes he replies saying that he's finds salt testing to be somewhat hit or miss, and tells me he's sending me a calibration kit. He just offers to send me a kit for free! and tells me to contact him once I've checked my hygro with it. I'm going to wind up having to buy more beads, or a new hygro, or both, and I'd be very hard pressed not to give him my business. And all on a Saturday. I wasn't expecting a reply until Monday at the earliest.
