Curious.  I've found that it doesn't absorb moisture nearly as quickly as other medias, and certainly doesn't regulate RH like others.  All in all, though, I've had decent luck with it.

Hmmm.... I use KL in all of my humidors and it holds a rock steady 65%.

You know that you're not supposed to use KL that the cat already pissed on, right?

only for a bit. then i discovered flour worked worked much better at finding the wet spot...

Only on fat cigars      

Anyone have negative experiences with kitty litter?

Not since I got rid of the cat

As Ken said, get rid of the cat!

I heard I may have when I was a kid, but my older brothers may have been teasing me...........

Been using crystal kitty for years

Is that why my cigars have had an odd taste recently?

I use kitty litter that has been coated with PG.  I take fresh silica gel (crystal kitty litter) and add enough PG (100%, not the 50% "cigar juice") to wet them out evenly.  I allow them to dry, and they are ready to go.

The PG acts as a humectant, slowing down the evaporation of water.  The crystals won't hold quite as much water as untreated silica, but I find that they don't spike humidity either after being charged and stay wet longer.

I don't care of the scientific properties surrounding kitty litter, a product designed for cats to urinate and shyt in will never be introduced to my humidor.  And no I do not have a cat

 

Been using it for several years with no problem at all.  I've never used beads & I understand beads may have some kind of coating or salts that regulate humidity to an exact percentage (?????).   The KL, I believe, acts more as a buffer, holding the humidity at whatever you set it at.  It works very well at that.

I gave up KL and went to the Cigar Mechanic blocks or similar.   They are basically a plastic holder filled with beads.  Easy to recharge.
