I would just buy a 'normal' bag of the stuff. Perlite is to help keep the humidity up in the chamber, but chances are you will be misting the sides and fanning regularly. Right?:)
Good Luck!

Depending on the size of your fruiting chamber. For mine (31 litre) it took around 2 1/2 litres of perlite. My perlite has been washed twice

I have another 2 litre bag spare just incase.

By a big bag, it will last you a while.
