I kept them at 67% and 65 degrees, but have dropped it down to 62ish% as we have such low humidity here in Vegas and I was getting a lot of splits.

68-69% for me especially in the winter (8 months a year haha) because I know that when I take the sticks out for more than 20 mins, they are going to dry out fast. I also know that if I carry a stick around with me in cellophane or a extra tube for protection but dont smoke it within a few hours, that the smoke wont be dry as hell. Humidity really depends on what your surroundings do for you, our humidity right now is at 25-30% because its so cold, so the smoke dries out fast as you smoke it so having a slight excess helps for the duration of the smoke IMHO :squinteye

63% is what it tends to hover at. Depends on ambient temp a little and such.

I have 70% beads that keep my humi's pretty rock solid at 68%

Althought I overcharged them a week ago and was sitting at 74% for a couple days and a couple sticks caught a MOLD.

This might be off topic but how can i get 67 from bead's if i mix 70 and 65 would i get 67?
Look into the HCM/Shilala beads, they allow you to set your own set-point. Trying to get to an accurate and steady 67 using a mixture of Heartfelt beads will most likely just drive you nuts.

I have heard the 65% Heartfelt beads hold around 67%. What you are describing would just cause the 70% to suck the 65% beads dry, until they are at capacity.
