Has anyone experienced their beads getting discolored or collecting a dirt-like substance on them after they have been used for awhile? Mine have recently started developing some sort of black crud on them. It does not appear to be furry and it wipes off really easily, so I don't think its mold, though anything is possible.
I have used nothing but distilled water to charge the beads. I also took a small amount out and put them in a dish to dry out and the crud remains, even though they have been out of the humi for a couple of weeks at least and dry as a bone. I havent noticed any ill effects on my cigars or anything on the interior of the humidor, but I'm a little concerned. Any ideas? Thanks.
