vermaculite vs pearlite

Can you use perlite in your jars instead of vermaculite? If not then why?

no, perlite and vermiculite are VERY different.
perlite is hard and crunchy, verm is soft and spongy
perlite releases water back into the air, verm holds water in
and a few years ago i couldn't find verm so i figured "they've gotta be interchangable"
i can tell you from my experience, that they are not

please do not take everything i say here so personally. welcome to teh internets!
