GodofFire Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Being new to CC and getting my feet wet ordering a few boxes from the Prez I am looking to switch over to bulk beads but not sure where to start with how much to use in my humidors. Currently I just have individual humidors for holding singles nothing in place for box storage yet. So I am hoping you guys can help me on how much to start in each of my humidors. I have a 300 stick 2 level humidor. 150 stick 2 level dome 100 stick just 1 level How much should I use in each. Also I see they sell a bigger mesh bag for holding 1lb but I want to find a few smaller ones so that I can put some beads in both levels. Where could I look to find smaller mesh bags. Thanks in advance for any and all help. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rckymtn22 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Here is a calculator to figure out how many beads you need. http://www.heartfeltindustries.com/calculator.asp Believe this place sells smaller bags and other types of containers for beads. i have the smaller bags in my coolidors. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodofFire Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Thanks for the link. All I could find on their website were larger bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rckymtn22 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Scroll down to the bottom of the bead section, there is 2 sizes, 1/2 and 1 pound bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sw15825 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Imho, get some tubes of 60% beads for the humidoors and get a cooler for box storage with 65% beads in the bags. Size depending on how deep you will go on boxes. 150 qt sea chests work nicely with room to grow and is cost effective. Work great for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUBANO Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I use women's stockings instead of bags. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StingMeadery Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I'm using HCM cigar beads which come in handy canisters for different sized Humidors. That are superb and hold a rock steady 65rh Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH was 68-67 dried them some dropped to 62%. I ordered 8oz HCM beads in the cylinder 24hr later the cooler is solid 65% and has been for 2 weeks. I think there worth the extra cost for sure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
