Heartfelt Beads, Frequently Asked Questions

[metaz1947]

I just got my goods from Heartfelt Beads. David was great to work with, especially when it came to answering my questions (I had plenty of them).

It's nice to know that a newbie like myself can get all the help he needs from members of this forum and people like David.

Thanks,
Ron

I took the foam out of mine and replaced it with some beads in panty hose. Does the trick for me!

I took the foam out of the rectanglar one and used a small screen to cover the holes in my rectangular one. The rest of mine are tied up in panty hose balls, no I did not steal my wife's, I bought new ones.

What size and color?

Can the beads be stored while in use in a Spanish Cedar container? I thought David told me once that they couldn't, but I'm not sure if that's true or if I was dreaming. Not dreaming about David you pervs, just dreaming!

Since I like em a little bigger I got a Queen size in sheer black. Damn My beads look sexy.



Yes Wade They seem to work fine In all my humis, as long as the wood is seasoned, I don't see why they would not work. Of course a dry box would just suck up all the moisture in the beads.

How difficult is it to see / tell if the beads are getting too dry?

 

[Mr. Sush]

Can cigars be placed in contact with the Heartfelt tubes like with a Humistat tube? Or does it need to be "shielded" from contact with the cigars?

I thought I recall him saying that the oils from the cedar would clog up the pores of the beads. I'd really like to hear the definitive answer on this on.

I would not be able to see just by looking. I do have to pick up the beads and streach it to see, but bLack just seemed like it would look better in the corner of the humi. I guess I'm just a "black goes with anything" kind of guy.

Me too, I didn't hear about that possibility. If they did absorb the oils, and took years for the beads to "clog" then I think i'm fine, but if they clog in a matter of months, I would be bummed.

Yep, take a look at a tutorial that someone did last year. He did a great job.

I would not. If the beads sit in the wood container they will absorb the oils from the wood. It will reduce the storage capacity of the beads for distilled water, it is not a huge amount but it does have an effect.

The cigars can touch the perforated tubes without any effect on the cigar. Just make sure that the tube itself is dry when you re-hydrate the tube before putting it back in the humidor.

Sorry for the slow responses, I had a packed house for Thanksgiving and this is the first time I have been able to sit and browse.

 

[Mr. Sush]

OK, I must be the only person who cannot tell if their beads are hydrated or not. I purchased a 4oz tube of 70% beads and followed the instructions by spraying distilled water on the tube while slowly turning it. Due to the non-opaque plastic of the tube, I can't see the color of the beads - much less what percentage of them are clear or white. The beads and tube look the same after being sprayed as they did before. Am I missing something here. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
