Help!!!! My humidor keep going from 70-75 % to 80 and peaked at 85 %, I took all humidification devices out except for the basic ones that came with the humidor. What can I do?

I'll have to look into getting a new hygrometer the only one I have is the one that was built into the humidor and it's analog. How do you test hygrometers?

The analog hygrometer in my desktop humidor rarely moves off of the 60% mark no matter what the humidity really is. I think I used it for a week or two before I bought a digital. They look neat, but are pretty much worthless.

Calibrate the Hygro for sure! Also, ensure you are using a distilled/PG solution mix in your humidifier. That helps a lot. I use a mix of crystals and boveda packs, depending on where i am. Also if all else fails and your in a really humid enviroment and cany seem to get your hmidity down, place a small bowl or shotglass of rice in your humi. I have to do that from time to time on the ship when we go to the humid-as-hell gulf. But unless your living in deep Georgia or Mississippi, you shouldnt have to.
