The Vino is at 65% and my desktop is about 60%. I am acquiring another Vino and that one will be at 70% for aging. Not that I know... just following the lead.

65% beads in mine so the RH remains rock solid day in and day out, temp is a constant worry for me though, as there is no AC where I live and temps range in the uper 70s and 80s most days. No problems yet though and my sticks all smoke great.

I keep my cooler at 70 for aging. I only smoke directly out of my desktop which has 70% beads but stays 63-67 in fall/spring/winter. Will need to get a tube of 65 beads for next summer.

I keep mine between 62-65% RH. If they are a little too moist for my liking, I'll dry box for a day ot two.

So, is it a problem if I keep mine at 80% and 80degrees?

I keep everything at 65% That's the beauty of beads.
