You did your math correct, works out to 7.48 cubic feet. And you are correct as well on the amount of beads, 1.5 pounds total at minimum for that space.
The link to the calculator is below. BBS is correct, the amount you get from the calculator is a minimum, adding more will give you more moisture storage for less maintenance and the extra will help the humidor recover quicker when it has been opened...
B.B.S. gave you good advice. Let me stress the point, don't put anything in or on the beads other than distilled water.
If you get a spray bottle as he suggested you can spray the distilled water directly on the mesh on the front of the aluminum unit. JUst spray until most of the beads are...
Sometimes with rough handling during shipping some small shards can be in the beads when you put them in the mesh bags. This will stop after a little while and not come back.
If you pour distilled water on the beads too quickly the beads can crack which will cause some small shards again. The...
Just in case someone else needs the directions somday here they are.
1. Place the hygrometer in the Boveda Calibration Kit or in a Ziplock with a salt slurry.
2. After 24-36 hours read the hygrometer and determine the inaccuracy if any. For this example we will say it displays 70% and the test...
I personally don't like wiping down the wood in a humidor. Just take a shot glass of distilled water and heat it in a microwave, not to noiling but hot. Place that in the humidor and close the lid then repeat this the next day. A few days of this and the spanish cedar will get a good fill of...
I am afraid that the hygrometers are off by that much, I have more trust in the Boveda kits than I have in just about any hygrometer. The good news is the bottom one in the picture is adjustabel so at least you can adjust that one so it displays accurately.
In my opinion it beats out the Cigar Oasis if only for the calibratable hygrometer that is built in to the unit. You can calibrate it so you know the level it is maintaining is correct.
I was asked by the manufacturer to test the prototype and did so for about 6 months. I was impressed with...

Also, thanks for all the kind words guys, reading your posts makes me feel like I...
