Heartfelt Beads, Frequently Asked Questions

[thebigo]

David, what's the best way of drying out the beads? I've been using a hairdryer but the beads go everywhere if they're not in the stocking. I saw that, well I forget who wrote it, someone put their kitty litter into the oven at 350 or something and that dried it out. What's your prefered method?
Also, when I used the hair dryer, I put the beads into a cigar box that was just lying around. What's going on when all the beads don't turn completely white? That mean that humidity doesn't want to come out? They get cloudy white, for the ones that don't go completely white, but not stark white. Normal?

The oven method works well but I don't set the oven any higher than 200 degrees. Don't want to have any chance of the water boiling. The hair dryer takes a while but does work but I prefer the oven. The color of the beads will vary while they are drying out but all will ultimately turn bright white when they have given up all their moisture.

The containers with the red ends work great. I need a nice aluminum one for my desktop. I emailed David in regards to just selling the aluminum container, if you already have your beads.

 

[tobby4]

yea I have the beads, I will look into them.....

 

[Viper139]

I generally do not sell the aluminum humis empty. If you really want one and already have the beads I guess we can work something out.

Kitty Litter VS. Heartfelt beads. Been discussed many times. Not the same product. Can you "train" the kitty litter to perform like the Heartfelt product? some say yes, some say no. I say no, maybe yes in perfect conditions. Heartfelt gets my vote.

I don't want kitty litter in my humidor even if it does work.

Still loving my beads. They work great in Jersey in the summer for pulling out the extra RH.

Beads are great. I also love the bead box replacements for that crap they put in the hdesk humis. My office humi has never been so stable.
