Vinotemp Runs Constantly

The daily temperature fluctuations might explain the inability to adequately regulate RH. The time required to stabilize RH is longer than the daily temperature cycle times, and RH is a function of temperature. Not sure how to resolve it, though.

Yea I would concure with kydsid that I have a thermoelectric unit. I definitely dont have a cooling tank on the bottom of the humi...

I can literally see the beads of water flowing down the back of the humi. There is no question condensation is occuring. Unfortunately I have to keep the humi at the lowest possible setting otherwise i run the risk of infestation... Ultimately my cigars feel spongy and they taste fine but I want the peace of mind that they are resting steady at 65% all over my humi... I will not be defeated by nature or physics... or a vino temp...
