Got my order from Viper/Heartfelt Ind. today, I was so stoked!!! 1lb 65% beads and a Blue Rhino Sport Grip with cool green flame. Everything arrived in good order, there was slight evidence of hard travel but the contents were safe and secure. Thx Viper
Now, took the beads and placed in my 54qt cooler that has to empty boxes in it. The boxes have been seasoning for the last 10 days with a dish of distiled water in the cooler. Placed 1/2 of the beads in the cooler dry, and the other half with the recommended amount of water. After 3 hours the RH is 66% I am so happy this seems to be working out well. I will give it a full 24 hours and see what it is holding then I hope to place my smokes in there.
Also, I like to take a few sticks out with me when I go on mission, but have not, because I am afraid they will get ruined in my pocket or some other such mess. So I took the hard clam shell case that my ballistic Oakley's are supposed to reside in and striped some of the excess foam padding away, lined it with the bubble wrap envelop that my Heartfelt order came in, and placed a plastic tubo of beads in it for good measure. It will hold approx 3-4 smokes, nothing in the size of a Churchill, but a few Robusto, and coronas fit very snug. It will get the first down-range test tomorrow morning. My fingers are crossed.
Thanks for reading this ramble
