how do i charge the round black humidifier thats shown on cigar.com for like 6 bucks? i get my humi just right at like 70% then it drops substantially.I seasoned it properly and everything i just didnt do anything with the humidifier but stick it in there smack in the center inside the lid.What do i need to do?

    yes thats the one.Do you suggest a larger one? maybe the large rectangular one i see here on the site.I have the 20 stick cigar.com humi it was a starter kit with that came with 10 sticks the humidifier and the humi.I will most definitely try the cigar juice.Do i have to dip the humidifier in the juice or just squirt a little on? I put a small dish of distilled water in there for 3 days until it didnt absorb anymore.I got a HYgrometer at walmart (digital and fully calibrated) just recently bought Romeo Y Julieta 1875's 3 of them not sure if thats why the drop.I had the humi at a cozey 72 Degrees with a 70% humidity reading held for a day and dropped to 60% im new at this and not sure if thats ok.Lastly i bought a small plastic jar of those crystals you put in the humi they worked but when i took em out the % dropped again maximum of 10% no more. Is it ok that i put those crystals in with my cigars too? please tell me i didnt f$%k up.Sorry about the novel here thanks for your time and expertise

    As I mentioned on a previous topic, I have that same humidor. I bought 1 drymistat stick (you can google it) at a local B&M. It does a good job of keeping my RH pretty close to 65%. Once in a while, if it dips, I will put the black puck back in there after charging it with distilled water. Seems to work great.

    x2 on this, used one while here in the sandbox and it does a pretty good job.

    Ive been using two drymistat tubes for my 100 count and they have been great. I like not having to recharge the tubes so often and it's easy to tell if it needs more water. So I + 1 the tubes
