Personal experience-3 coolers, 2 Vinotemps. None ever tested for leaks. All using beads for humidification 1/2lb in each cooler(48-54qt) solid at 65% Rh. 28btl Vinotemps, 1lb each 65% beads, all beads by Hearffelt Industries. I have no idea if any leaked in the beginning or now, but leaks are irrelevant, If Rh is constant it implies a good enough seal for cigars. No wooden humidor is airtight, spanish cedar is porous and will absorb(and release) moisture. .
