So, I stopped by my local shop today and think I learned my mistake. I used purified water instead of distilled. I guess we all have to learn from our mistakes. I bought a new humidifier and another, much larger, humidor. My new shipment will have a home!

Hey I'm right in the same boat with you man. I was doing pretty good with my thirty count or whatever size it is. After getting some rocking deals from splits and recently found ones I need a new one. And just got the needed stuff to make it run right.

Don't worry. You'll get a larger humidor, fill it, and then ask yourself, "why the hell did I buy ANOTHER small humidor?" and then you'll get a coolidor, fill it, and then ask yourself, "why the hell did I buy the 48 qt cooler and not the 75 qt?" True story.

I bought a digital hygrometer, and a new humidifier. The hygrometer is reading 64 degrees, and 66% humidity. Is this where I want it? What are they optimal numbers?

If the Hygrometer is CALIBRATED then yes it's in the realm of acceptable.... The golden rule is 70/70 but my Golden rule is 68/65%.....

also maduro cigars seem to burn better at lower than 70 rh, from my experience...

hmmm, I was having trouble along the same lines, mine wouldn't go above 50rh so I replaced both the humidifier and the hydrometer. now it's going the other direction, my readings are 70º 76rh which is super high. I think I need a smaller humidifier lol... good thing I'm paranoid and got three in different sizes.
