The point I'm trying to make here is that we run the risk of muddling things up by talking well beyond our own areas of expertise.
at least i understood that i dont know what im talking about. i even stated it. i knew full well that i may have botched that up. what i DO know is that RH and AH are different. RH depends on more than one factor. AH depends on exactly two factors.
decharge more of your beads. are your beads 65% or 70%? i had to ask. also, how long have those sticks been in there? whats the temp and where is it located?
ISTM duty has pretty well covered the issue, here. One question left dangling:
kuzi16:
If you have your humidor at 70% AH and the temp sudenly drops outside your humidor to about 35* would that cause some of the water to condense on the inside walls of the humidor?
Yes. Unless your cigars were able to rapidly absorb all the excess moisture. Either way, bad ju-ju.
Correct me if I'm wrong here urbi but this is my opinion. Lasy the reason you are seeing this drop in humi as well as temp is this. Your apartment is sitting stagnent in summer months, this allows the humidity to build up. Then when you fire up that window unit its sucking the humid air out of the room and pushing cooler AND less humid air back in. My slight understanding of how AC works leads me to believe a lot of the humidity in the air would be lost in the process.
Yeah, that's gotta be a pretty nice collection, now that you got that big order in.
Oh yes The Gurkha humidor is a nice one that is being seasoned, the coolerdor is working out nicely, my C.Com humidor is full of the Brazilians, and my good humi is chocked full once more. Life is good
True, but then you would expect his humidification device to compensate. Maybe the drop in temp is too fast for it to keep up, but it should return to normal at some point -- reasonably quickly, one would hope.
Well unless its passive. What is your humidification lassy?
Got me two large discs of "Heartfelt Humidity Beads" at 70% but they are a little under-filled for i want to gain 67%
when you say "under-filled" -- you mean some of the beads are white? or do you mean it's not filled all the way up to the top with distilled water? The latter will keep you running high for qutie a while.
