			I'm ording some Heartfeld beads. I'm thinking of ording some extra for a later project. So, do they have a shelf life if not used? I know this may be a dumb question to some, but I'm not sure.

			Heartfelt beads, if kept in a sealed container such as they ship in, will not "expire".  Over time in a humidor, it is possible for the HF beads to "clog" (for some definition).  This is a problem that the beads that cigarnut sells doesn't have. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			I used HF beads for years and years without issue and even did like you are considering and pre-bought several pounds in anticipation of the slope without seeing any noticeable effect.

			No expiration date as far as I know. I have been using HF beads for over 5 years and they still work perfectly. Extra beads can always be used as more will actually help regulate faster.

			I've personally noticed that beads have be to re-hydrated more often than the other humidification devices 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
			beads do have a shelf life. You probably should replace them every year or three depending on how they're doing Last edited by cigaman1979; 05-28-2012 at 05:38 PM.  |

			I would disagree as well, I have had mine for about 4 years and they work like they did when I first got them.
