BoM 10/12, 9/13, & 8/14
I have beads in one cooler and kl in the other. You can set your watch by both but the beads always have a little more variance than the litter. I think I've spritzed the kl three times this year.

BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
65% easily with kitty litter

Only thing is depending on where you live sprit zing may not work initially. I'm using kl and loving it but first couple weeks I did the sprit zing thing and just wouldn't get up to the right humidity. It's less than 5% here in te desert most times I had to add a bit of dw to get them to absorb some but now they're working wonderful. Just what inobserved

PM sent.
I had the same experience with Beads....they would vary from 2 to 5% and I always felt like I was worrying too much and checking the humidity almost every day...with KL I go weeks to a month w/o having to worry.
In your kind of climate where there is hardly any humidity at all you'd have to adjust the amount of DW to more than the usual ( obviously ) as here in Atlanta I don't need much DW to keep the humidity where I like it. When I stay in San Diego I find I add a little more DW there and in the desert I can imagine that it's double the amount....but as you said once you get to your number you can pretty much lock it in.
Cigary43.... Thanks so much for all the info. Very helpful, I haven't sprayed mine in a long time. Probably the reason for the drop in RH, gave a few sprays after I read your PM so I will be checking to see where I'm at when I get out of work today.
A few days after I posted this my rh dropped a bit. Up and down for a few days. Then I gave it two good sprays of h20.
After that it was rock solid at 65% for 3-4 wks with no maintenance.
My cigars are smoking just fine too.

It's a wonderful thing and when you actually perform the 'light maintenance'...couple of spritzes is all you need for another month or so. ( Use Distilled Water...H20 is not the preferred type of water )
For Burghblast.....don't use just any KL....use UNSCENTED like Exquisicat w/Pearls. The blue crystasl neither harm nor help the process so don't think you have to sit there and pick the blue pearls out one by one.....I know some who do that and it's not necessary. Remember...shallow containers are your bests friend for the KL to work effectively and don't SATURATE the KL...just mist over the top of the KL is all it takes.
