Try the 60%, see how they smoke and take it from there.

Default Re: Going to 60% beads

I have not gone to this but I was thinking of..... 65% in the coolers and 60% in the 300 humidor. I currently only smoke out of the humidor or travel case. About once a month I pull from coolers to put some in humi. Seems like the addition of sticks at 65% would keep it at around 63% for a while....

what do you all think?

This is a very common misconception as to how beads work. You cannot put equal amounts of 60% beads and 65% beads an obtain 62.5% RH. The 60% will absorb humidity until they are saturated and then the 65% beads will "regulate" to 65%.
