at this rate i wont even need any humidification in this thing..................i been reading info on gel and beads, the beads seem better, but, then which kind and where to buy? how much to buy? my humidor is only for 20 cigars............
i've recalibrated the hygrometer and it was off, but not by much....but im still running 80% with JUST THE BOX. no humidification at all....i took the foam filled thing out and put a humicare pillow that came with my cigarsprintsale order in there for humidity, but im still at 80%....
i just cant get the humidity down enough to put the cigars in....maybe next week when the bead round arrives it will fix the problem............
this is driving me nuts.
Does the wood hold that much water? To keep itself too humid?
When you close it, that moisture really has no where to go.
As said previously - you need to dry it out and start over.
So, you need to be sure that the room that the humi is going to dry out in is well below 65% RH.
I mention that because the RH in my house is often above 65% (fog + windows left open).
