I have a question about humidity. I have a fairly new humidor that has been seasoned, and I've purchased a good gel humidifier, but for some reason it will not keep the proper %. I'm wondering if there is something that I may be doing wrong, or a way to test if there's something wrong with the humidor itself. Now my house is a little drier than it should be, but I didn't think that would make that much of a difference.
Thanks
How is the seal? What are you using for humidification? Beads, Gel, something else? What type of hygrometer are you using? Is it calibrated? Lot's of questions eh? LMAO
If your not using a digital hygrometer, stop everything and get one......then go from there. Analog hygrometers look cool, but that is where they stop...they are junk!
In my experience gel humidifiers just don't give off enough moisture to keep rh at a good level. Add on opening the humi alot, dry winter conditions, small leaks in the humi, etc. etc. and you're struggling. Get some beads, either heartfelt or conserva-gel, you'll be happy I promise.
Thanks everyone for your quick answers. I'll try to find some beads at the local smoke shop and give that a try. I thought I might have been doing something wrong, or there was an issue with my Humi. I didn't think it was that because there seems to be a good seal when closed, so I'll try the beads.
Thanks Again.
Get the digital hygrometer first. Then you know what your RH really is. Then you can rest easy.
