I have seasoned my new humidor for two weeks with a bowl of distilled water. At the end of the two weeks I took a new clean sponge and very lightly wiped the inside of the humidor. Added 4oz. (two 2 oz. bags) of Shilala's beads put in my calibrated hrygometer. 24 hours later reading @ 80% RH. So, what to do? Wait a month for the beads to stabilize? Open the humi for a few hours? I'd like to hear what you guys have done in a similar situation. Ps, no cigars are in the humi. Thanks everyone.
