    Hey Brett, 
    Question about the litter. Do you add water like one does with other gel bead setups (Doctor RH) or do you just throw it in the bottom dry?
    I've never had the need for that setup but the question just came to mind.

    I know the answer is in a thread someplace here, but I am too damn lazy to look it up. I would think the litter would absorb excess humidity but in a dry climate I would think you would need to add water, either with shot glasses or like you say, put it in the litter. Hoping an expert will chime in here
    A little dirt never hurt

    Hey Dennis!

    I add distilled water to it every month or two and works perfect. Don't want to flood it but you do want to get it good and wet, takes a time or two to figure out the "touch" but the learning curve isn't steep at all honestly.

    You'll want to moisten a percentage of the beads...  if they're all wet, they won't be absorbing moisture, and if they're all dry they won't be able to add moisture to the cigars.  How much distilled water you add will depend on the season and how airtight your humidor is.  Also, the beads like being sprayed; they tend to crack if you just dump water on them.
