Anyone know of a store in Toronto I could just walk into and buy the beads everyone is in love with? I went to Thomas Hinds and although they knew what they were he wasn't sure if they would be carrying the beads for sale anytime soon. I just got a humidor and am using the 50/50 mixture of distilled water and PG. (Actually I'm in the process of setting up the humidor and I have a small bowl of distilled water in there for the last 2 days)
 
Ive never seen the beads in any store...i have seen those IMO, inferior crystals but never anything like the heartfelt beads. Just order from him(viper)
 
i agree with the above posts, order from viper. i got mine quickly/hassle free and i live near Toronto. :thumbs:
 
I regularly ship to Canada, in fact had two yesterday. I will be happy to help you.

I have sold beads to two retailers but one is in Rumania and one in Australia so that won't help. :rolleyes:

How long do the beads last?
 
They have an indefinate life span. The only thing that ruins them are impurities that get into the beads. This is the main reason that only distilled water should be used on the beads for rehydration. Normal tap water or bottled water has minerals and other impurities that will ultimately clog the beads.

Its really not all that exciting...and is actually quite boring as now youll have nothing to worry about when you close that humidor lid as you can abide in complete confidence that the beads are keeping your smokes at a perfect humidity level. :laugh:

I've heard alot about these beads and the "no maintenance" aspect of them. How long can I leave that humidor closed up without even checking it? Let's say I don't open it up for 2 months? Is it fine and I be assured it's at the correct RH?

If you have a 100% airtight container you will never have to do anything to them. The more air transfer you have the more you have to add moisture as the beads give off what they had stored up.

I know I'm just impatient when waiting for things in the mail. I will dream of beads tonight.


P.S. meanwhile my humidor seems to be holding steady at 70 RH with no beads. Kinda like the credo knows change is coming and is trying to hold onto it's job. ;)
