i sprayed mines about 7 weeks ago and to this day they are still holding strong at 66%, how often do you find yourself spraying? by the way they are in a 250 count table top humidor with about 100 cigars in there and about 5 ounces of humidity beads

I am not sure how often but I believe the general rule is spray them when they are half dry.

so you dont just go by the digital hygrometer and only spray when it starts getting low?

Never! I bought 2 Set & Forgets for my humidor so I dont have to worry about beads.

You already knew the answer. LOL When they STOP working.

We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.

I don't think more cigars would affect it. The cigars themselves become passive humidification devices. But more cigars is always better!
