[Jon11]

Because they come in 2 ounce or 4 ounce bags. The Shilala's beads.

Personally, given a choice between the two options, I would go with the four ounce bag to keep a better equilibrium in my humidor. Currently in my vinodor I actually have more than twice the recommended amount just because, as often as it runs during these summer months, I want the humidity to come back up as fast as possible.

I and some others have put more beads than required in for the shilala beads but in no way do you add water on the beads, If I need to raise the humidity I put a 1/2 cup measure cup of distilled water in the cooler and slowly raise the humidity. there is a faq section I believe on the site stating if you want more beads how much more to add versus the required measurement.

That is new to me.... I don't know if that's a common practice or just Shilala's instructions. I mist my beads (different brand).... Am I doing it wrong?
