Hi, matt. Only use distilled water with the beads.

Any problem if I've already used the 50/50 for the initial charging?  Okay if I used distilled water from now on, or have I potentially damaged the beads?

Also, if they get too filled, is it okay to use a hair drying to get rid of some of the water.  Is there a better way, or should I not worry about it?

Sorry for all the questions.  I'm new and a little obsessed. :-)

I'd check with Heartfelt on whether you've damaged them. I can't imagine it was good for them, but I may very well be wrong.

Hair dryer is a common way of drying them out a bit. No problem there, other than that it can be slow. Kuzi, I think, uses an a/c vent to dry his out.

No problem, dude. Questions are welcome around here. Make yourself at home.

So, what's the 50/50 good for?  Is it just for putting in the foam pucks?  Is it okay for putting in a glass and seasoning a humidor?

yup.
I find the hair dryer even on low has a tendency to blow em away.

Yup, it's for the green foam humidifiers. It's fine for putting in a glass to season your humi, but you don't need it.

I spread mine in the bottom of a long, shallow tupperware container to use the hair dryer on 'em.
