are the beads sold by Cheaphumidors the same as Heartfelt beads? Seem to be but you get a lot more for the price. Anyone use them?

I don’t know man and don’t take this the wrong way but for the amount of money I have sitting in sticks I figured why try to get cute with it when I know the heartfelt work as advertised

So I bought a Sistema Tupperware container and got the beads. Hit the July 4 deals on CI and have about 50 sticks in there acclimating. I put the whole 1\2# in a nylon and robbed the cedar from a box to line the bottom of the Sistema. Put in the cigars and was reading 81% humidity the next day. Beads said they were precharged so didn't wet them. I've been venting the container a few hours a day and letting the beads out to dry a little. Week and a half later still reading 76% overnight. Calibrated hydrometer so I know that's ok. Is it normal to take this long to equalize the humidity? They were shipped when it was crazy hot and humid out too.

From a cigar forum I'm on:

Wow! Thanks! And I was just going to order some Heartfelts yesterday. Glad I procrastinated...lol. Just got shits, I emailed Cheaphumidors to see what they had to say. Think it's worth going the bulk route and nylons or just get the tube or round in the size I need? I have a second wood humidor seasoning that my wife bought me for our anniversary, so I need to do something soon anyway.
