brsmith21:While the 65% beads hold close to 70% in my cooler, I've found that in my humis they usually stay around 63% without help. What I do is add one of the Drymistat tubes on the opposite side of the humi and they then stay right at 65%. I like them because they're very small and also low maintenance. The Drymistat tries for 70%, so I know that the beads pull from it, but the combination of the two keeps all three of my desktops very stable at 65%.

The only concern with using something like the drymistat is to make sure you use nothing but distilled water with it. Dont use PG or anything to charge it because you are running the risk of the beads absorbing the PG and ruining them. There has been some debate previously on this forum as to whether or not the beads absorbing PG is even possible but I say I'd rather be safe than sorry.
