What are humidity beads?

Humidity beads are an advanced silica-based product that provide two-way humidification control. Almost all passive humidification products are one way, which means they can release humidity but cannot absorb.
This is relevant as temperature changes can cause sudden spikes or drops in humidity. Humidity beads rapidly respond to these shifts to keep your humidity consistent.
Due to the two way functionality of our humidity stabilization beads they can be used in small humidors, or as a supplement in a large or cabinet style humidor.

Canada Humidor Humidity Stabilization Beads are perfect for regulating humidity in coolerdors, wineadors, tupperdors and any sealed container that you want to keep your cigars in.

Please Note: Using more stabilization beads in your humidor than the minimum recommended amount will provide a couple of advantages.

• First, the additional mass will provide more moisture storage and assist the humidor to withstand seasonal changes in RH requirements, which can be significant here in Canada.
• Second, when your humidor is accessed there is a drop in RH and the additional beads will provide for a faster recovery.
• Finally, every humidor has a small amount of loss due to a less than perfect seal and the additional stabilization beads will hold the RH longer.

Using Humidity Beads

1. To determine the amount of beads required, take the inside measurements of your humidor and calculate the cubic area. For every 1.25 cubic feet you will need 8 ounces.
2. Do not saturate the beads as they will breakdown and their efficiency will be greatly reduced.
3. Lightly spray distilled water on to the bag of beads until the colour changes (see pic above for dry vs activated) and shake the excess water off.
4. Place the bag inside your humidor and the stabilization beads will look after the rest.
5. These beads have been formulated to be "trained" to regulate the affected environment at your desired level of relative humidity (DRH%). To accomplish this, simply monitor the relative humidity (RH%) and if it exceeds your DRH%, remove the beads from the humidor for 24 hours
6. If DRH% is lower than your desired level, lightly spray them again and re-install in the humidor. When the humidor has stabilized at your DRH% for several days, the beads will expel moisture into the humidor when the RH% is below your DRH% and draw moisture out of the air when the RH% is above above your DRH%.
7. When the beads turn to a translucent, almost clear white colour, simply charge them by lightly spraying them with distilled water, shake the excess water off and re-install in the humidor.

Features:

• Maintains the RH to your preferred level. Usually between 65% and 70%
• Two-way humidification absorbs and releases humidity
• Extremely simple to use
• Changes colour when you need to add humidity to your humidor
• Mesh bags available to hold the beads

Please Note: We do not recommend this humidification method for small to medium sized wooden desktop humidors
