I'm having trouble getting Shilala beads calibrated

TBH after reading about other humidification systems, the beads are quite a value. Not only do they work perfectly (as you even stated yourself they were +-1%) but they also require very little maintenance.

I think you need to just refridgerate your beads for some time. There is info on how to do this on www.shilalasbeads.com

I did refrigerate the beads... still didn't work. Not sure what the problem is... that's the point of the thread...

What is the RH in the room where you keep your cigars. I was having a problem keeping my humies at 65% during the summer because the RH of the room was too high. So everytime I opened the coolerdor or humidor, I let in moist air that the beads had to soak up. Finally bought a dehumidfier to lower the RH and things are good. I don't have a problem in the winter when the air is dryer.
