Another winter RH question...

[kaisersozei]

Same thing happened to me. I have a Bally II, and I think the cheap plastic hygrometer embedded in the wood is the source for much leakage, especially in the winter. My RH dropped to 57%, so I took out the shilala beads, put them in a ziploc w/ my digital hygro & a folded papertowel soaked with distilled water. Let it all sit overnight, took out the papertowel, let the beads sit and now they're back at 67% which is perfect for me.

I have a love/hate relationship with my humidor. I mostly hate it 7 months out of the year. gl with yours!

That is why I also have a cooler.....I checked it every few weeks when I first got it and the RH was the same.....now I check it maybe every 6 weeks and I have yet to see the RH move. **knock on wood**

Yep! I moved all the cigars out of my Bally and into my cooler when I recalibrated the beads. Will try to do a little humidor repair & resealing over the holiday.
